Punta Carretas Prison - back yard Plantation - around 1930


in this image we see the back of the maximum security prison building. its noticeable the back had a gigantic plantation garden where the prisioners where forced to grow plants and teach to do so. so when released they could at least grow vegetables on the rural areas (as giving them a craft to make a living besides commiting crime) its noticeable where the tiny center building is located, when it was recycled into shopping center was demolished in order to build the Sheraton building. a shame its lost one of the most gorgeous buildings.
