Cell 147, Broadway, Alcatraz. Not the sort of address you would want!
Alcatraz cells are 5 feet by 9 feet and inmates were liable to be locked up for 20 hours a day! In this space was also a bed and the few personal belongings the prisoners were allowed to have. The metal box on the wall was for headphones to allow the inmates to listen to music.
