A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a narrow prison corridor. In the foreground on our left, a figure in a dark jacket stands with their back to us, reading a paper. Beside them, a long row of vertical bars lines the hallway. In the middle ground, a blurred figure steps from a doorway on our right. Several more figures stand in the distance on a dark, reflective floor beneath bright overhead lights.
