Found the source for the location. It was Beale Street Police Museum Tourist Jail in Memphis Tennessee. It is no longer there. " Turns out that this storefront museum was an actual working Beale St. precinct station ( Roadsideamerica.com Team, 08/24/2005 .)" https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/11045 Even a wiki and other photo https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Beale_Street_Police_Museum_tourist_jail_Memphis_TN.jpg

James Pivaroff, inmate no. 276, plays guitar for another inmate. He was known as "Dip" because he would pickpocket items from guests if given the opportunity. Music was a privilege, but eventually prisoners got a music hour every evening. (Courtesy Chuck Stucker.)
