A black and white photograph of six prison inmates looking out of a window with reflection of the outside trees on the glass.
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.
