>While in jail Capone discover that it was a jazz band active within the
bars. 

If anyone visits Philadelphia, a must tourist stop is the penitentiary right
in the middle of the city.  Capone's cell is displayed there.  He, let us
say, had it fairly nice!  Having said that, the history of that jail, which
set the scale for all jails for ages after, is amazing.  The whole visit is
self-guided, and unbelieveably interesting.
