Spent about a month and half in what you call "caged off area" assigned to a mattress on floor. Never saw a cell block or yard. There were about 40 mattresses on floor with about 2 feet square around each. Book cart would come in, that was about it. It was actually not that bad, most people were in for a very short period, a few days to a week then assigned to cell or released on bond or PR. I had trouble being bound over to superior court and was eventually released.

This was actually the intake, the first place that a newly arriving prisoner saw. (1976) There were visits here as well. There was an echo effect and a sort ever present breeze from door traffic.

I actually spent November and parts of December 1976 in pretrial confinement here. It was so over crowded that those in pretrial were in a big holding area assigned to a mattress on the floor in one of the halls. I still remember this view. Thanks!!
