Photograph caption dated November 25, 1955 reads "Place called home. Home is where the hat hangs and inmates of Wayside Honor Rancho near Castaic hang their hats on pegs behind neat rows of bunks which line barracks where prisoners serve their sentence. Sixty-five per cent of men are classified as minimum security prisoners." The article partially reads "It's the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Wayside Honor Rancho at Castaic, embracing approximately 3,000 acres of rolling, fertile hills that not only produce game birds, fruit, alfalfa and blue ribbon livestock, but also oil."; See images #00134971 through #00134977 for all photos in this series.
