This is an original press photo. Baltimore, Maryland. A police tactical squad and city firemen stand in the courtyard of the Maryland State Penitentiary as prisoners on a fourth floor fire escape hold several hostages. The burning building in the foreground houses the prison vocational shops. Penitentiary officials made no initial attempt to rush the prisoners, fearing for the safety of the hostages. Three guards and a prison employee were injured in the outbreak. Prisons and prisoners.
