A black and white photograph of a collection of confiscated weapons in five cardboard boxes.
From "The Joint" Collection photographed at the Colorado State Penitentiary in 1974.
The Joint is inmate slang for prison. In December 1974 I was granted unlimited access to the Maximum and Medium Security Prisons at the Colorado State Penitentiary in Canon City to shoot this documentary.
