Synopsis
Excerpt from The Twin Hells: A Thrilling Narrative of Life in the Kansas and Missouri Penitentiaries
Life, or they surely would have resisted tempta tion and kept out of crime. The following pages will impart to the reader some idea of what he may expect to endure in case he be comes entangled in the meshes of the law, and is compelled to do service for the State with out any remuneration. Every penitentiary is a veritable hell. Deprive a person of his liberty, punish and maltreat him, and you fill his life with misery akin to those who wander in the darkness of eternal night. I think, when the reader has perused the following pages, he will agree with me, that the book has the proper title That this volume may prove an eye-opener to the boys who may read it, and prove interesting and instructive.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a harrowing journey into the notorious Kansas State Penitentiary, offering an insider's glimpse into the brutal reality of life behind bars. Written by the author after serving 16 months of an 18-month sentence, it unflinchingly exposes the dehumanizing conditions, harsh punishments, and psychological torment endured by prisoners. The author's own experiences, combined with interviews with fellow inmates, shed light on the systemic failures and injustices within the prison system, particularly its disregard for rehabilitation. The book serves as a stark indictment of the American penal system, challenging readers to confront the complexities of crime and punishment and to question the efficacy of incarceration as a means of societal protection and reform.
