Overalls
The children’s ward of the central prison had a yard where the children could play in a sandpit in the fresh air. The children wore overalls while they were outdoors, and the youngest children were dressed in sleeping bags.
Female prisoners made clothes for the children living in the prison. These red overalls feature wool ribbing at the cuffs and a light blue cotton lining.
