A vintage-era jail worker rumor: Bikes built in Italy by the Rizatto company (Atala, Girardengo, Ligie) were said to be built in the joint. When you think of it, what exquisite torture to make prisoners--Italians building bike frames and Yanks making license plates--build their respective cultures' symbols of freedom and mobility!
