Fields of crops at the State Penitentiary farm in Canon City, Colorado, are flanked by roads; the stone garden house and outbuildings are at the end. Rock walls and a wooden gate form an enclosure in the foreground, with a hay feeder and loading chute. Billboards edge Highway 6 and 50 where it cuts through the hogback behind the prison. The Wet Mountains are in the distance.
