The 6th 1948 Rikers virtual tour close-up is immediately to the right of the 5th. It shows more of the athletic field including another baseball diamond not in use. The largest structure in the close-up is the dormitory annex that had to be added to the penitentiary to relieve overcrowding. To the right of the dorms can be seen a lone guardhouse type shack and more acres under cultivation.

Veteran current and former NYC DOC staffers and others who can correct, refine, enhance and increase the information in the close-up image caption above are invited to do so. Include the close-up's virtual tour image number in your e-mail to the webmaster@correctionhistory.org
