Glad we were able to go early. I couldn't believe how long the line was when left.

Thank you to the warden for opening the prison up for tours. Also thank you to the tour guides that shared so much interesting information. It is definitely an experience I will always remember. And what beautiful architecture!!!! Thanks again!

I would like to thank all the volunteers that worked so hard to bring this opportunity to us. You each gave up a lot of your time and energy to share your stories with us and your Sunday. I hope the numbers show the state (#ThisIsIowa) that there is more than enough interest to open #HISP to tours in the future.

I would have loved to see the other holding areas and the visiting areas but we were restricted to behind the walls where maximum is held. I think for everyone to get a clear picture seeing John Bennett and the visitor areas would have given a better more detailed idea of what they went through and what their families went through.

Thank you so much to the warden & all the volunteers for giving the public the opportunity to tour the facility. It was a very interesting & educational tour with the guides sharing their stories. I really hope the state of Iowa plans on keeping the facility for a museum.
