1967 Press Photo Exposed wires need repair at New Orleans Parish Prison

Every photo in our collection is an original vintage print from a newspaper or news service archive, not a digital image. Please see our FAQ for more information.

Description
Two items on the long list that need correcting at the Orleans Parish Prison are inadequate plumbing and exposed electrical wires. Besides its general filthy condition, the toilet overflows against the wall and on the floor, causing the wall surface to peel. The transformer with exposed wires should be covered, according to the state fire marshal. Contact with the wires can produce a severe shock.

Photo is dated 1967.

Photo measures 6.75 x 10.25 inches.
