State Penitentiary complex in Canon City, Colorado, consists of stone buildings and walls with faceted corner lookout towers. A spur of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad crosses the City Ditch in the foreground, which cuts through the prison yard, between the old and new administration buildings. A brick stack emits black smoke; Canon City and low hills are in the background.
