Description

“I hold this slow, and daily, tampering with the mysteries of the brain to be immeasurably worse than any torture of the body.” Charles Dickens, 1842


Eastern State Penitentiary dominates Fairmount Ave in Philadelphia. The physical structure is intimidating, but the stories of the horrors that happened there are even more terrifying. Interestingly, though, the people who founded Eastern State and the man who designed it, John Haviland, thought they were creating a more humane and effective prison.

They were wrong. This week, Mazal and Fayge look at the life and career of the architect John Haviland, the legacy of his most famous structure, and the psychological impacts of solitary confinement.
