About
Located about 30 miles outside Chicago, Old Joliet Prison has served for years as an Illinois state penitentiary and a movie set. Learn more about the prison's double histories on this unique 2-hour guided walking tour.
First, you'll wander through the prison's barbed-wire gates and imposing 19th-century fortress-style walls. While inside, you'll get exclusive access to areas used by production crews like the yard, cell blocks, and solitary confinement.
Finally, you'll take a seat in our makeshift movie theater and hear about Hollywood's century-long relationship with Old Joliet Prison, including cinema's early role in Illinois prison reform.
