"Kingston Penitentiary is expected to play a starring role in future movies and television series. It is already a popular tourist attraction, but officials believe there’s also room to use the 19th century prison as a movie backdrop. Now, a trio of partners wants the Limestone City to shine even more brightly and draw in more production." - Global Kingston

"For almost two centuries, Kingston Penitentiary has been home to some of Canada’s most notorious criminals. But for the last three years, it’s been one of Kingston’s largest tourist draws.
The tours have been organized through a partnership between The City of Kingston, Correctional Service of Canada and the St. Lawrence Parks." - Global Kingston
