Title	Penitentiary riot 1929
Creator(s)	Eisenhand, H. G.
Summary	This aerial view looking east at the State Penitentiary in Canon City, Colorado, shows the prison complex with the Administration Building, its extensions, and the tag shop gutted by fire. Inmates are in the sunken yard fronting the damaged structures. The City Ditch winds through the walls and between the cell blocks. A freight car is on the Denver and Rio Grande Western spur, and railroad tracks edge the park with its round fountain. Cars and trucks are parked outside the prison's west gate; commercial buildings and residences line River Street, at the west end of town.
