Description
Photograph of man speaking on a phone at Terminal Island Federal Prison, [s.d.]. A man stands, at left, speaking on a mounted telephone. Opposite the telephone, an alarm device is also mounted on the wall. The man is wearing a dark colored uniform with a chevron on his right sleeve. Beside him, are what appear to be two fuse panels - the larger one is on top, while the smaller one is visible on the bottom. At center, a small table stands with a telephone resting on it.
