Introducing West Virginia Penitentiary's Photography Tour! Rates • People $100 Duration 4 hours About • This is not a guided tour, you will be roaming at your own pace and leisure. • The gate will be opened approximately 15 minutes prior to the tour time for check-in. • Each photographer is responsible for their own equipment, and is required to sign a waiver/agreement upon check-in. • You do not have to be a photographer to take advantage of this tour! We welcome painters, artists, or anyone that wants to explore the facility in the daytime at their own pace! June, July, and August you will be sharing the facility with tour groups. We ask that you refrain from blocking doors and pathways, and keep the floor clear of equipment that may cause a hazard to guests. During these months, tour groups do visit the exact same areas as the Photography Tours are permitted to visit. The difference being, Photography Tour attendees are able to independently spend as much time in any certain area as they wish and do not stay with a group.
