DescHistoric Preservation:After the last prisoners left Eastern State Penitentiary in 1971, the prison stood for over twenty years, untouched, with no maintenance or care, causing the buildings and structures of this National Historic Landmark to fall into a state of severe deterioration. The site's condition threatened both its structural and educational future, prevented or drastically hindered public tours of the grounds and prohibited interpretation of the site's place in American history; thus, stabilization and preservation of the entire site and all of its structures was, and continues to be, of vital importance. ESPHS's restoration activities provide visitors with a clear understanding of the prison's history, its design and use, and how the site changed and evolved over time. In 2017, in addition to the $511,212 of expenses spent on general maintenance, and the allocation of $480,923 of depreciation, ESPHS completed $1,692,986 of leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements included the completion of the RACP funded roofing projects for CB4, 5, 6, 7 improvements which allowed the opening of the Hospital Block Exhibit, skylight improvement, masonry work on the perimeter wall, and masonry work to stabilize various cell blocks.Desc

DescExhibits:In 2017 ESPHS presented a mix of eleven art installations and four history exhibits. Eight art installations continued from previous years and ESPHS introduced three new art installations. New include: Jared Scott Owens: Sepulture draws from his personal experience to create a symbolic burial of an individual struggling with incarceration. The prisoner's Egyptian burial sarcophagus is covered with an American Flag, a reference to "how this man came to be buried," according to Mr. Owens. The sarcophagus also incorporates the man's belongings, the objects an incarcerated person might wish to bring from prison into the afterlife. Erik Ruin and Gelsey Bell: Hakim's Tale The artist project a paper-cut silhouette of formerly incarcerated activist Hakim Ali onto a cell wall. In the accompanying audio, Ali recounts his experience in solitary confinement. He describes the spiritual and psychological crisis, and later resilience, that is brought about.Piotr Szyhalski and Richard Shelton: Unconquerable Soul combines drone footage with poems written and recorded by people living in prison. The poems address the individual complexities, and shared universalities, of the prison experience.Returning include:Jesse Krimes' "Apokaluptein:16389067 II," is a smaller scale version of Apokaluptein:16389067," the artwork he made while serving 70 months in a federal prison. Ruth Scott Blackson focused on the pervasive flaking paint of Eastern State's walls. For "No Trace Without Resistance," she created new fragments so that it is difficult for visitors to decipher new from old paint flakes. Gold leaf on the new flakes results in a shimmering effect that entices visitors to pay attention to the walls, thereby evoking how a prisoner might have done during his/her solitary existence.Jess Perlitz's "Chorus" uses twelve speakers spaced around the top of a single cell to project a different song sung by someone incarcerated in the U.S. The sound loop begins with just one voice/one speaker and escalates at regular intervals until all the speakers are playing. All ESPHS's daytime visitors had an opportunity to view and enjoy these exhibits during their tour and the installations provided visitors with the opportunity to experience a different perspective of the penitentiary's history and architecture, as well as an introduction of broader themes related to criminal justice.Greg Cowper's installation "Specimen" which displayed insects collected at ESPHS and recalls the collection of 18 species of butterflies assembled by an inmate in the 1890s; Michelle Handelman's installation "Beware the Lily Law" projected a video on the cell wall and shared monologues based upon the experiences of real transgendered men and women who are incarcerated;William Cromar's piece GTMO with its recreated cell from Camp X-Ray; Tyler Held "Identity Control" used a car, stripped inside a cell as a metaphor for relinquished individuality; and Alexa Hoyer's "I AlwaysWanted to Go to Paris, France" which examined visitor's notions of prison gleaned from film history.In addition to Prisons Today: Questions in the Age of Mass Incarcreation and The Big Graph exhibits, throughout the site there were small exhibits illustrating or expanding upon aspects of ESPHS's history. These include Al Capone's cell, which portrays Capone's special treatment during his incarceration. Another exhibit portrays a typical cell from the 1830s, providing visitors with the ability to visualize the inmate's accommodations in ESPHS's early years. An exhibit on Jewish life adjoins the Synagogue and 23 inmate painted murals are interpreted in the CatholicChaplain's Office.Desc

DescOther program expenses included improvements to the museum shop, as well as special educational programs and events for the benefit of the public throughout the year. Among these were "Pop-Up Museum," where objects from our collections were exhibited for ten days; two "Pets in Prison" family weekends; the annual "Alumni Reunion," that draws former employees and residents together for a Q&A with visitors; and the "Prison Food Weekend." The largest of these events was ESPHS's annual July celebration of Bastille Day, which is a reenactment of the storming of the Bastille followed by a French-themed street party in front of the site.Desc

The programs, events and exhibits held at the penitentiary help to provide the means necessary to keep the building interpreted and open to the public, which is the organization's primary exempt purpose. The organization also acquires and maintains historic site collections, including documents, reference materials and objects.
Part X, Line 2:Uncertain Tax Positions: Management of the Organization considers the likelihood of changes by taxing authorities in its filed income tax returns and recognizes a liability or discloses potential significant changes that management believes are more likely than not to occur upon examination by tax authorities, including changes to the Organization's status as a not-for profit entity. Management believes that the Organization met the requirements to maintain its tax-exempt status and has no income subject to unrelated business income tax, therefore no provision for income taxes has been provided in these financial statements.

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1Under the organization's bylaws, certain directors and officers serve as members of the Executive Committee of the organization. The Executive Committee is authorized to act for the Board of Directors between its regular meetings.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4The organization made two changes to the by-laws: 1) The terms of board officers changed from one year to two years. 2) The organization added the City of Philadelphia's 5th District Council Representative and the Commissioner of Public Property to the board as required by the city.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bManagement and outside counsel for ESPHS review the draft Form 990. ESPHS' independent auditor formally presents the audited annual financial statements and the draft IRS Form 990 to the ESPHS Board of Directors (the "Board") Finance Committee. The Finance Committee reviews the audited financials and the draft of the IRS Form 990 in-depth. The Committee approves the IRS Form 990 for the Board. The Committee then prepares an audit presentation to the Board at a formal Board meeting and requests the Board's approval of the audited annual financial statements.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cESPHS regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with its Conflicts of Interest Policy (the "Policy"). All officers, members of the Board, key-employees and members of committees with Board-delegated powers are required to comply with the Policy. Each such individual is provided with a copy of the Policy and is then required to review it and sign an acknowledgment of his or her understanding and commitment to comply with the Policy; non-compliance with the Policy is subject to disciplinary action including, but not limited to, dismissal from ESPHS. Prior to entering into any transaction or arrangement that might benefit or inure to the benefit of an "Interested Person" (as that term is defined in the Policy), such transaction or arrangement is discussed in great detail by the Board (excluding any Board member(s) that may be an Interested Person). Each and every member is required to fully disclose any and all benefit he or she may directly or indirectly derive from, or because of, any transaction or arrangement. To the extent a transaction or arrangement has already been entered into, in the event such transaction or arrangement is questionable pursuant to the Policy, or someone has a question about, or issue with, how such arrangement or transaction is benefiting an Interested Person, it is reported, or brought, to the attention of the Chairperson of the Executive Committee (the "Chair") who conducts an investigation to determine if a violation of the Policy has occurred. If the Chair determines a violation has occurred, the matter is referred to the Board for appropriate disciplinary and corrective action. If the Chair is unable to make such a determination, the Chair presents his or her investigation to the entire Board to make the determination. All existing transactions and arrangements that are in effect for longer than a year are reviewed each year by the Board to determine whether a conflict of interest, in accordance with the Policy, exists. The Executive, Governance and Nominations Committees constantly review transactions, nominations and other arrangements in accordance with the Policy. In the event any of the aforementioned committees finds an issue with an existing transaction or arrangement or are unable to make a determination, the issue is presented to the entire Board to determine whether the transaction or arrangement violates the Policy.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15Compensation for officers and all key-employees is determined annually by the Board's Compensation Committee, and reported to the Finance Committee when it sets the annual budget. The Compensation Committee and Executive Committee members involved in pay decisions are free from conflicts of interest with respect to their efforts in determining compensation levels. The CEO's compensation is recommended by the Compensation Committee for approval by the Board's Executive Committee. The Board's Compensation Committee incorporates relevant marketplace data for each job (examining Museums and other Arts and Culture Non-profits of roughly the same size as well as some general industry data for administrative roles), incorporating reputable studies performed by organizations such as the American Association of Museums into its analysis, its decision making process and the salary budget worksheet. External data is carefully "aged" to a common date in time and regionally adjusted where appropriate Decision makers on the Board, base compensation recommendations and decisions on their own research or on input from independent external consultants using outside information for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. Independent compensation consultants have no past, present or potential future conflicts of interest that would compromise such firms' independence in conducting analyses. Fees received by any independent compensation consultant are not contingent upon the adoption of any particular action or event resulting from either their work process or the use of their recommendations and analyses. The Finance Committee presents the draft budget and salary/compensation recommendations to the full Board with all of the relevant salary and compensation studies for Board approval. The decision makers on the Compensation Committee and the Executive Committee receive detailed analyses, and have ample opportunity to ask questions of the analyst who prepared them. Members of Management neither exert undue influence nor drive the conclusions of the compensation analyses, and they are recused during deliberations about their pay. The Committee and the Board finalize and contemporaneously document all recommended compensation actions within 60 days of the meeting, prior to any such person's receipt of money or other economic benefits. ESPHS has established a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under Treasury Regulations section 53.4958-6(a).
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19ESPHS provides its governing documents, the Policy, and its financial statements to the public upon request and all Board members receive a copy of such documents every year.
