Our tour guide was amazing! Take the tour. It's a terrifying facility, and it's good for all of us to learn how prisoners were kept just decades ago. It's also extremely creepy to watch people taking pictures of their kiddies in the gas chamber. The people on the tour can be as interesting as the facility.

Well worth the tour price. We originally asked if we could just walk around the museum, but in order to see the prison itself you have to go on the tour. Takes about an hour and you get to sit in the gas chamber, see the gallows, all the cell blocks and learn some great stories about life at the prison. Great guides know the answer to any question you might have.
