AL In JAIL?

Some of Al Capone's down time.

Philadephia's Eastern Penitentiary

Capone arrested at movie theater for gun posession.

Some claim the fix was in and that he was avoiding retaliation for the St. Valentine's day massacre.

Others stated he was doing this to appease his peers in other cities this, in order to remove the government's spotlight on organized crime.

Al Capone and Frankie Rio mugshots in Philadelphia.

Al Capone's cell at Eatsern State Penitentiary is a main attraction for many who visit there.

Al took a powder and served a year after the Atlantic city gangster conference.

Al's jail cell at the old Eastern Penitentiary in Philadelphia.The cell still stands today and is furnished every year exactly as Al had it when he was incarcerated there in 1929 for weapons posession. Al had very special privileges as you can notice in photo.

Gerri DiSalvio Ruppert in front of Al's cell. She kindly supplied some of the above photos for the site and got into the Capone era thanks to her dad (Mr. Daniel DiSalvio).

Reporters including Jake Lingle were waiting for Al to be released. Al was already enroute to Chicago when this photo was taken much to the dismay of these reporters.

Capone followers and gawkers, among them many children looking for a glimpse of the famous gangster Al Capone.

The streets were filled with the curious and reporters.

The Warden knew that Al's release would cause a a great amount of hoopla, so he ingeniously had Al leave earlier and made the crowd believe he was still inside.
