United States Penitentiary

Atlanta, Georgia

Welcome to the historic United States Penitentiary in Atlanta, Georgia. This place was first built in 1902 using granite that was mined from nearby Stone Mountain and has housed many infamous criminals over the years including Al Capone and Frank Abignale Jr. Clearly this place is not open to the public but it's a historic site and is also on here to feed the acre counter. If the government ever decides to shut it down it will likely become a National Historic Site.
