点评:This was a great place to spend a little time, but I found it wasn’t as great as I expected based on other reviews. Firstly, it was way too crowded when we went and I felt they needed a better system to filter people through. Secondly, the audio narration was weirdly short and limited, and I felt half of it was extrapolated upon to fill more time. Bonus points for using Steve Buscemi though.
The prison itself is wonderful to explore, but I expected less of it be restricted from viewing which was also disappointing. We were done much faster than expected. I liked the exhibits about numbers of people incarcerated, and some of the other temporary exhibits were sensitive and poignant. However, I felt there was a significant amount of shoehorning of ideology into some of the exhibits and frankly, I’m tired of people shoving their politics down my throat, particularly when half of it is so tenaciously linked to the actual thing we are seeing.
The gift shop was really lacking as well.
Overall, I’m glad I went, but I am unlikely to go again and I would hesitate to recommend it without some improvements.
翻译:这是一个消磨时间的好地方,但我发现它并没有我根据其他评论所期待的那么好。首先,我们去的时候人太多了,我觉得他们需要一个更好的筛选系统。其次,音频解说短得离谱,内容有限,我觉得一半是为了填满时间而编造的。不过,史蒂夫·布西密的表演也加分不少。
监狱本身很值得探索,但我原本以为参观限制会少一些,这也让我很失望。我们比预期的参观速度快得多。我喜欢那些关于囚犯人数的展览,其他一些临时展览也很感人。然而,我觉得有些展览中强行塞入了大量意识形态。坦白说,我厌倦了人们把他们的政治观点强加给我,尤其是当这些观点中有一半与我们所看到的实际内容紧密相连的时候。
礼品店也确实很差劲。
总的来说,我很高兴我去了,但我不太可能再去,而且如果没有改进的话,我会犹豫是否推荐它。
