Footage shows the Alameda County Jail and some of its prisoners in the late ‘70s.

Begins with a shot of the kitchen. A counter is stacked with bowls, and steam rises from metal containers, perhaps filled with hot food. 

A book shelf is packed with books and a set of red encyclopedias. 

The badge and patch of an Alameda County sheriff is seen on his khaki uniform. 

A group of inmates play a game of pool, billiards. Another group plays ping pong while their fellow inmates look on amused. 

One guy with a beard smokes a cigarette and eyes the camera.
