Al Capone's cell - a photo on Flickriver

Al Capone's cell

Alphonse “Scarface” Capone got his first taste of prison life in Philadelphia. He stopped in Philadelphia while traveling from Atlantic City back to his home in Chicago in May, 1929. He was arrested outside a movie theater for carrying a concealed, unlicensed .38 caliber revolver. The Philadelphia courts were tough.
They handed Capone the maximum sentence: one year in prison. The Eastern State Penitentiary closed in 1971 and now is a museum and it has unveiled a newly-restored exhibit that shows the cell as it likely appeared from 1929 to 1930 when Capone was incarcerated for nine months there.

The photo is the original version of the cell in display. This is a re-edit of a photo (jpg) that I took when I was beginning in photography in auto mode with my first camera (Point and shoot -Sony DSC-HX100V). It was my first bus photography tour and I can't wait to go visit this place again.
Check the website for more info and to see the actual display of the cell.
