Three Daily News Photos Of Pres. Franklin Roosevelt Visiting Wallkill Prison In 1932.

Three Daily News photos of Pres. Franklin Roosevelt visiting Wallkill prison (Ulster County NY) in 1932. Walkill prison was known as the prison without walls and constructed on a family farm. Wallkill’s design features four three-story housing wings. Each of the 12 stories or galleries contains 42 outside cells, 21 on either side of a corridor, for a total of 504 cells. The most radical feature of Wallkill's housing - still probably the first thing noticed by a visitor - is that the cells have no plumbing. Each gallery has a bathroom, and the doors of the cells, more properly called rooms, are not locked, unless by the inmate who has the key. It housed prisoners from other facilities including Elmira & Sing-Sing.
