The Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site, Inc operates a museum and national historic landmark that preserves America's first penitentiary. Opened in 1829 with a reform-oriented vision for criminal justice, the site functioned until 1971 and now hosts exhibitions, guided tours, and public programs that explore the legacy and ongoing impact of incarceration in the United States. The Eastern State Center for Justice Education serves as the organization's hub for deeper understanding of the criminal justice system through public events and educational initiatives.

Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the organization serves visitors, educators, and communities seeking contextual learning about justice and incarceration. In 2023, Kerry Sautner was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer, signaling continued leadership for both the Historic Site and the Center for Justice Education.
