Additional armed soldiers, including one on horseback, patrol the area between the two stockade fences. Several buildings, hundreds of tents, and prisoners are shown within the densely packed inner fence. Additional soldiers, tents, and cannons are outside the prison area in a separate fenced area; the soldiers milling about, several missing limbs and using crutches. Smoke appears from a makeshift hearth. One soldier near a cannon looks through an eyepiece at the prison area.

The overcrowding resulted in prisoners suffering from hunger, disease, medical shortages, and exposure. Joseph W.
