点评:The penitentiary is well worth a visit, especially if you are interested in old prisons.
It’s enlightening to see just how the inmates were treated, how the prison was built, their thoughts on how solitary confinement was the way to help the prisoners be rehabilitated into society.
It was great to find that a free audible headphones with individual tour guide was included with the entrance fee, which allowed you to tour the penitentiary at your own place.
The only thing that you need to be aware of is that it is a long walk around and with little seating areas, it can be tiring if you have difficulty in walking distances. There are also a few second floor rooms with fairly steep steps if you want to see them.
On saying that we enjoyed the visit, and the staff are very helpful.
After our visit, we went across the road to Jacks Firehouse for lunch, of which I would recommend.
翻译:监狱非常值得一游,尤其是如果你对古老的监狱感兴趣的话。
了解囚犯的待遇、监狱的建造方式,以及他们对单独监禁如何帮助囚犯重返社会的看法,都令人大开眼界。
很高兴发现门票包含一副免费的带个人导游的有声耳机,让你可以在自己的位置参观监狱。
唯一需要注意的是,绕监狱走一圈需要走很长的路,而且座位很少,如果你步行不便,可能会很累。二楼还有一些房间,台阶比较陡峭,如果你想参观的话。
总之,我们很享受这次参观,工作人员也非常乐于助人。
参观结束后,我们去了马路对面的杰克斯消防站吃午饭,我强烈推荐这家餐厅。
