JOLIET, Ill. (WLS) -- Hundreds of people went to prison Saturday night and had a great time.

The Great Joliet Prison Break-in featured food trucks, fun and live music. It took place on the grounds of the old Joliet prison.

Efforts are underway to turn the facility into a museum. Proceeds from the Break-in event will go toward restoring the building.
