A tour of Kingston Penitentiary offers a vivid, behind‑the‑walls look at Canada’s oldest maximum‑security prison, where visitors walk through historic cell blocks, solitary confinement, and the vast limestone yards. Guides — often former correctional officers — share gripping stories of daily routines, riots, and escapes that shaped nearly 180 years of the institution’s history.

The experience is both architectural and emotional, revealing the imposing 19th‑century craftsmanship and the human stories of those who lived and worked inside until the prison closed in 2013.
