The Minnesota State Reformatory, St. Cloud,
Minn. is a 55 acre tract enclosed by a grey
granite wall which is the largest prison wall
in the world and is only surpassed by the
Great Wall of China. The wall 22 feet over-
ground is four feet thick and ten feet under-
ground and has seven lookout towers along
the wall. The wall and all buildings were
built by prison labor and the stone was taken
from the quarry in the background of the
picture. It was all built by hand and took
50 years to complete the job.
