I found out a while back my Great Grandfather worked at this prison in one of the towers. His name was Patrick Judge. He was fired from his job because when Willie Sutton escaped he refused to shoot the man.

I passed by the prison a few times and the thought never even occurred until I logged in and looked at the pictures again. My mother was walking by and told me the story again. I was like Holy shit. haha.

Well just thought I'd share.
If you would like any other info let me know.
I'm thinking of contacting Philadelphia and asking access for pictures etc of the cells etc because of historic valve etc.

Well and also because its Locked Down, and I want access without climbing a 30ft wall and dodging 24/7 guards haha.
