San Francisco, July 21-23, 1998  

A Block is closed off. The sign reads,

A Block is closed off. The sign reads, "The Army built this cell house in 1912. When it was remodeled into a Federal Penitentiary in 1934, A Block was not modernized. It still retains the old flat bars and key locks of the military prison days. During the Federal Penitentiary years, 1934-1963, prisoners were almost never kept in A Block. These cells were used for study areas, typing rooms, and storage of cleaning materials."
