a police man stands outside a jail cell. the cell is in the center of the room, bars on three sides, and a wall one one side dividing it from the other cells. there is a very small and very gross looking toilet, and a hammoc running the length of the cell.

Old Bloomington City Hall, located at the corner of East and Monroe streets downtown, included eight narrow holding cells. These were located in the basement.
