In March 2006, for a segment of a planned "Jails of NY" show in its Secrets of NY series, NYCTV Original Productions photographed the Anton Refregier WPA mural "Home and the Family" in the James A. Thomas Center, formerly known as the Rikers Island Penitentiary.

NYCTV photographer Peter Bossio had to angle his shots to capture whatever he and his camera could of the mural, given the challenging narrowness of the corridor.

Ten of his photos taken during the "Secrets of NY" show segment filming are presented here by NYCHS through courtesy of NYCTV Original Productions that retains and reserves all rights.

Kelly Choi is host of the "Jails of New York: Secrets Unlocked" show in the NYCTV Original Productions Secrets of New York series. It premiered May 23rd, Tuesday, but was scheduled to air again Oct. 17th at 8PM, Oct. 18th at 10:30PM and Oct. 21st at 9PM on WNYE.
