1955223871955. Incarceration and Prison Photo Archive of Washington State Incarceration and Prison Reform 1955-1985. Five large original black-and-white silver gelatin press photographs measuring 7" x 9" to 8" x 10" and documenting prison life and institutional conditions at Monroe Reformatory and Walla Walla State Penitentiary. Washington State 1955-1985.<br /> <br /> This archive spans three decades of press coverage showing moments of despair unity and hope amongst Washington inmates. One of the most powerful photographs dated August 12 1980 shows "four representatives of prisoner organizations" likely racial in origin listening "attentively as other inmates describe overcrowding" at a conference inside Monroe Reformatory. The verso clipping headlines: "'Prelude to disastrous situation': Monroe-reformatory inmates decry overcrowding" amidst mounting lawsuits and public scrutiny of conditions at the institution. A second image from Monroe dated December 14 1975 shows a man behind cell bars reaching skyward with a cigarette between his fingers. The attached caption describes the prison as "a warehouse" and quotes officials: "Overcrowding has led to the doubling up of many residents. the air is thick with tension." <br /> <br /> Another photograph captures Glen A. Nordsvin a white inmate in cap and gown kissing his wife Robyn after receiving a degree in barbering during a graduation ceremony-an intimate portrait of incarcerated education and family connection. A separate press image from 1971 features a rare depiction of female inmates: thirty-two women many in patterned dresses and coats arrive at the Washington Corrections Center for Women in Purdy transferred from Walla Walla. The final photograph dated July 5 1955 chillingly shows a long row of fortified cell doors at Walla Walla described in the AP caption as holding "the most dangerous rioting inmates" in the state. Minor edge wear and faint surface creasing to a few prints; verso toning and glue marks from caption slips. Overall very good condition. unknown
