1950s - Jail Cells in the Basement of City Hall

A view of two jail cells in the basement of City Hall in the 1950s. When the building opened in 1943, it increased the number of cells from one in the old city hall to nine in the new, along with two “tanks,” allowing for the separation of “youths, felony cases, and inebriates,” according to a September 12, 1942, story in the Los Angeles Times.
