Fodor's Review:
Exhibiting artifacts from early-20th-century prison life, this modest museum, once a women's hospice, includes a genuine striped uniform and jail cell. Behind its large courtyard stands Nuestra Señora del Carmen chapel, named after the patron saint of the federal penitentiary service. The chapel dates from the Jesuit period.
