West Cell Block Restoration Program Sponsorships Available Now

We are embarking on a 3-5 year journey to fully restore the West Cell Block. We are offering a unique opportunity to sponsor a cell. Your donation will ensure that the West Cell Block can return to its former grandeur and a plaque with your name on it, in your chosen cell, will show everyone that you contributed to the historical renovations. We only have 320 cells, so there is very limited availability – don’t wait!
