Know anything about tours of San Diego Correctional Facility?
I was a bit surprised to learn that there are tours available at the San Diego Correctional Facility. A tour contact is given on this website: http://www.correctionscorp.com/facility/san-diego-correctional-facility/
Know anything about these tours? The facility doesn't appear to be historically or architecturally interesting, so I wonder why it's tour-worthy, and what areas of the facility are open to the public.
Know anything about this tour, and in general is it common for prisons to offer tours of their facilities? Maybe I'm reading the info wrong and the tours aren't for just anybody, but I'd think they would say that if it were the case.
Is there a gift shop too? If so, that might be kind of fun :-)

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Might be something to do with the kids once they started getting restless and acting like they were going to start fussing and acting naughty. Going to the gift shop and getting a little pair of handcuffs just to wear on your belt to remind them that they better watch their p's and q's.
I had not on a serious note heard of the tours but maybe they have a state of the art facility there and use the tour money as a way to be self sufficient. Drawing less from the taxpayers.
Maybe they mean tours of visiting your relatives while incarcerated there in the San Diego prison. But it might be interesting to take a tour of a prison. I have never been in one and only have seen the ones on television and movies so it might be an enlightening experience. I am all for adventures as long as I do not get put into a solitary confinement cell.
The only thing I saw on prison tours was a class of a professor that takes them on a tour because of their criminal justice class.

You could be right re: the tours not being for the public.
We have a prison near Chicago that I wish would offer tours ... it's no longer in use, but is a fabulous piece of architecture that was built in the mid 1800's, You might have seen it if you watched season one of Prison Break ... the Joliet Correctional Centre. :-)
