Description
Photograph of the one-room jail in Volcano, ca.1930. At center a small wooden building is visible from the front and side. The roof is sloped and appears to be made out of some sort of metal. A dirt road runs in front of the building from bottom left to the right. Trees, shrubs, and another building on a hill are visible in the background. Photoprint reads: "Any one thinking they can kick their way out will be disappointed. The walls are made of boards with boiler plate iron sandwiched in between".
