These days you can take tours of the prison.

My Dad was an architect for the State and when I was very young he had to go to Jackson Prison to do an inspection for a rebuild after a riot.

While he was there the BIG riot broke out and he was locked in for a few days with several other civilians and a slew of armed guards protecting them.

He spent a lot of time there after the inmates destroyed a large portion of the prison and he had to design entire sections.
