Original Toronto Star caption: Electronic double gates are at the entrance to Millhaven penitentiary near Kingston; where there have been two murders; a bloody suicide and constant beatings in recent months. Between the 300 prisoners and the 185 guards there is always fear and animosity. Administration officials are caught between the two sides.
