Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Possibly related to the article “Tehachapi Prison Will Wait Fence, No Women to Be Sent to New Institution Until Safeguard Finished,” Los Angeles Times, 6 July 1933: A8. The article states: … Women will be sent to the Tehachapi institution in small numbers until they have all been removed from San Quentin. The new building group was dedicated by Gov. Rolph last year, and since that time has been unoccupied, due to the refusal of the warden to be responsible for prisoners until the buildings had been fenced in. … About 4 Norman-style 2-story buildings with dormers and chimneys, with long driveway in foreground and hills in background Text from nitrate negative sleeve: California, Tehachipi, Womens prison, 1933
