Jackson Historic Prison Tours
Begin the tour at Michigan's first state prison (1838-1934).  Hear tales of prison life, punishments and colorful inmates; see old solitary cells, meet artists in former cells turned into studios and visit an apartment which was once 36 cells! Eat a catered meal in the old prison cafe (included in the price of the trip) and continue the tour at Seven-Block (1934-2007) on a closed portion of the functioning Jackson State Correctional Facility.  This tour will include many points of interest you would not be able to see if touring on your own.  Call us at (269) 324-9239 for details!
