American Prison Life, Blackwell's Island, New York: Dinner-Time, 1876. Creator: Unknown

American Prison Life, Blackwell's Island, New York: Dinner-Time, 1876. Convicts complying with a...regulation to be observed after the dismissal of the guests from that monotonous repast - namely, the punctual deposit of every man's spoon (an iron spoon, we believe, certainly not one of silver) in the receptacle set beside their path as they march out. There must be a certain degree of strictness in the domestic habits of this large household on Blackwell's Island, which is perhaps not quite agreeable to some of its visitors. But it is by their own fault that they find themselves lodgers and boarders there'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876
