This book, published in 1923, recounts the 18-months experience of Kate Richards O'Hare in the MO State Penitentiary, as a federal prisoner, convicted under the Espionage Act in the waning years of WWI. Ms Richards O'Hare, a journalist, activist, and sociologist conducted extensive, inside research on the prison system, all the while making her quota in the prison clothing manufacturing sweatshop. Although written almost 100 years ago, so many things are all too similar. The is books is articulate and hard hitting.
