  • Η Φυλακή Γουόλνατ Στριτ (αγγλικά: Walnut Street Jail‎), η οποία έλαβε το όνομα της από την ομώνυμη οδό στην οποία βρίσκεται στην Φιλαδέλφεια της Πενσυλβάνια, ήταν η πρώτη φυλακή που κατασκευάστηκε στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες Αμερικής η οποία διέθετε ατομικά κελιά. Η φυλακή άρχισε να λειτουργεί το 1773 ώστε να αποσυμφορήσει την φυλακή της οδού Χάι Στριτ. (el)

It was located at Sixth and Walnut Streets, where it acquired its original name Walnut Street Jail. The penitentiary house, built in 1790, is considered to be the first in the United States, as it was built to use individual cells and work details. The word "penitentiary" came from the Pennsylvania Quakers' belief in penitence and self-examination as a means to salvation. This was made a new and permanent form of combating crime through the practice of solitary confinement, which was later adopted at the Eastern State Penitentiary. (en)
