I visited this historical prison museum this past Sunday and took the "Hollywood" tour. I was hoping to take all 3 tours available but got there late. This is the most impressive prison I have ever seen or been to. I have visited Eastern State Prison in Philly and this experience blows it away. Many of you may have seen parts of it in the Shawshank Redemption, Air Force One, Tango & Cash or other movies and videos. If you are in Ohio or close this is a must see prison.
