Barber Training at Rastatt

Notes:

One French internee took up his hand at barbering in the cell in the bastion in Rastatt. Prisoners had lots of time to learn new trades to help alleviate the boredom of prison life. In addition, hair cutting restricted vermin infestation and contributed to prisoner hygiene in cramped cells.
