Convicts hold metal plates in a lunch line at the State Penitentiary in Canon City, Colorado. Steel cooking pots are set into the table, which has spoons piled on it. One prisoner holds a metal cup, and some of the uniformed guards look at him. Windows and a door are in the background, open to the outside.
