To the best of my knowledge there's no way to have Condor hang on to the
contents of that directory indefinitely for you.

You could:

A) Return all the directory contents to some central location as part of
your job for post-run processing and debugging; or
B) Have your job sleep at the end instead of exiting. Sleep indefinitely
and then you buy all the time you need to look around in the directory.
When you're done poking around just kill the sleeping thread and Condor
will clean up as per usual.
