This was the first thing I saw in Philly and I was pretty impressed. The audio tour (by Steve Buscemi) was very good and vivid. The place feels haunted even during the day and does take you back in time to the days when prisoner welfare was an afterthought. I felt the $14 entry fee was bit on the higher side, but on second thought its probably apt to maintain a place like this. Shouldn't miss it
