The images themselves show the stockade adjacent to the river the prisoners' dining hall the front part of the bunkhouse and dining tent an elevated view of the stockade showing sand and cement being hauled down a nearby road three young men preparing dinner "prisoners building a concrete wall" "prisoners working on the retaining walls" and "prisoners starting a wall in the side of a very bad slide." In the latter photograph the compiler of the photographs reveals his own involvement in the activities here: "You can see me R.B.A. standing with a gun on my shoulder." An interesting group of photographs documenting the long tradition in the United States of employing prison labor to perform back-breaking manual labor. unknown
