Description

Renovations to the Tarrant County Jail have improved some aspects of the jail, including the cleanliness. The view for prisoners, however, remains unchanged. The sixth floor is shown with a new coat of paint. Inside the cells, the steel support joints of bunks were replaced with triangular plates. The old design allowed prisoners to wake the neighborhood by banging their cots against cell walls.
