Excerpt from Wards of the State: An Unofficial View of Prison and the Prisoner
Imprisonment, its effects upon the prisoner (in prison and after prison) and the prejudice it creates against him in the public mind these are my chief topics. With imperfections of Which I am extremely conscious, the book represents a study of some years' duration, a study rendered difficult for the onlooker by this fact above others, that he does not view the life Of prison from Within. His advantage (as an onlooker), perhaps his sole advantage, is that he should be able to approach the subject With no excessive bias on the one side or the other.
