Waysign:
 
"JAIL: The U.S. Army of the 1840's and 1850's treated its prisoners harshly. Jails provided little ventilation and no heat. Despite this jail's sturdy construction, many prisoners at Fort Tejon escaped at night."
 
Waysign:
 
"GUARDROOM: Guards served a twenty-four-hour shift and were required to stay in uniform even when sleeping. Traditionally, conditions for this duty were spartan - the guard's bed was only a wooden shelf."
