New Industries Building
New Industries Building, Industrial prison building on Alcatraz Island, San Francisco, US.
The New Industries Building stretches 306 feet long with two floors featuring 17 bays and windows containing 9 panes on each side of the structure.
Constructed in 1939 for $186,000, this building formed part of a $1.1 million modernization project that included multiple facilities on Alcatraz Island.
The ground floor contained manufacturing facilities where inmates produced items such as gloves, furniture mats, and army uniforms for monetary compensation.
