Wood frame with gold streaks showing through. Family of three pushes a wheelbarrow full of wood to be used to warm their barracks.

On the opposite side of the wheelbarrow from the girl, a woman in blue and yellow wearing a kerchief over her hair pulls the wheelbarrow along.

While most of the other camps relied on coal for heat, Jerome inmates chopped and gathered wood from the surrounding area to help warm their barracks.
