The Prison of the Dead

New for 2011- A redesigned finale featuring a new themed area - Solitary Confinement!

Take a tour through the now condemned 50,000 square foot Willow Glen State Penitentiary. As a result of the inmates all being given the death sentence, the facility earned the nickname Prison of the Dead.

The facility was closed in 1831 after the Watson Commission discovered the mistreatment and inhumane torture of the prisoners by Warden Chivron. Before the state closed its doors, the Warden carried-out a mass murder-suicide.

It has been reopened for society to witness the horrors of the past. Your tour will start when you board an actual prison inmate transport bus. Be on the lookout, as it is said the souls of the prisoners and guards who have all died still inhabit the prison.

It is rumored the souls of the guards will to try to incarcerate you while the souls of the prisoners will mistake you for guards and try to seek revenge. Either way, if you are not careful, your sentence will surely be DEATH!
