Description
Photograph of a man checking the beds at the Terminal Island Federal Prison, [s.d.]. A man in uniform squats down to check the inmate's bed storage bins, near center. The room contains at least three other beds that are all partially visible. The floor and wall are painted in drab colors befitting a prison - and there is what appears to be screens on top of the walls. In the background, the windows of another room are visible through the screens.
