About this Item

Print on Demand. This book shines a light on the brutal world of crime and punishment in early 20th-century America, exploring the depths of human depravity and the resilience of the spirit in the face of adversity. Through the eyes of John Collins, a young man sentenced to five years for burglary and assault, the author exposes the horrors of prison life, where violence, treachery, and the constant threat of brutality lurk around every corner. As John struggles to survive in this dehumanizing environment, he must navigate a complex world of guards and inmates, each with their own motives and agendas. The author delves into the psychology of both the oppressor and the oppressed, revealing the complexities of human nature in extreme circumstances. Beyond its unflinching portrayal of prison life, this book also explores the lasting impact of incarceration on individuals and society. It questions the effectiveness of punishment as a deterrent to crime and challenges readers to consider the true meaning of justice. Through its powerful storytelling and thought-provoking insights, this book offers a searing indictment of a system that often perpetuates the very violence it seeks to contain. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
