$15 per person for 2 hour tour but unfortunately it is closed for repairs. "On the morning of Thursday, May 23, the Missouri State Penitentiary (MSP) officials learned the tornado that hit Jefferson City, Missouri caused damage to the property. After an assessment, it has been determined that the property will need to undergo repairs. It is with a heavy heart, and with safety in mind, that the MSP tours will be suspended until further notice. While we never like to close the doors to our tourists, this process will better help us tell the story of MSP and its past and present history. For updates regarding the MSP, please follow our Facebook page. If you had a tour reservation, our office will be in contact to refund you."
