The cell houses are circular in form and all
cells radiate toward and face the central point,
where a guard's tower and observation point
afford constant supervision by one officer, who
also controls the locking and lighting systems,
From this tower the cell doors are locked and
unlocked by means of hydraulic pressure. The
rays of the sun shine directly into every cell
for at least two hours each day the sun shines.
