In 1833, construction was completed on the first penitentiary in Illinois. Located in the riverfront town of Alton, there was no other building like it in the state – and only two others anywhere in the United States. The Alton Penitentiary was – and still is – a very haunted place, and it’s one from which there is really no escape – not even in death.
