Description
Pseudonymously-written account by a famous ex-convict, a career forger, whose misdeeds “resulted in prison sentences around the country. He decries racism and convict labor contracts at the Louisiana prison farm; spends a chapter adulating Eugene Debs, his cellmate at Atlanta; praises the policies of Warden Lawes, and complains of anomie at Walkill.” Accurate depictions of prison life in Angola, LA, Sing Sing, Walkill State Prison, and US Penitentiary in Atlanta, among others. With an introduction by Warden Lewis E. Lawes.
