Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Joliet Prison Post, 1914, Vol. 1: Devoted to Prison News I umpire their ball games because I like base ball and enjoy being with them, and I find that my presence at recreation has a good effect in checking profanity. I reason that the more I interest myself in their daily lives the stronger my influence with them will be because of the confidence thus gained. The prison day school, which is under my supervision, was started in October and will be continued at least until May. It may be sus pended during the hot weather. As a day school it is an innovation, as, previously, the prison had known only evening schools, and these were limited to two sessions every week, of one and one-half hours duration each. These were held in one school room in each wing, where fourteen classes recited at one time. The new administration has provided four school rooms, and every prisoner who so de sires may absent himself from work for one hour per day in order to attend. This privi lege depends only upon good behavior in the school and application to the studies. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Joliet Prison Blues A Century of Stories written by Amy Steidinger and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2021 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named warden of the Illinois State Penitentiary in 1913, Edmund Allen arrived with a glamorous new wife and ambitious plans of reform that did away with years of striped uniforms and humiliating practices. Two years later, his wife was found murdered in her bed, shocking the country and throwing the prison into chaos. Over the past century, life behind bars at Joliet has often been a national spectacle. Infamous inmates like Leopold and Loeb, John Wayne Gacy, Baby Face Nelson and James Earl Ray drew headlines, and iconic scenes in movies like The Blues Brothers ensured that the prison walls themselves were instantly recognizable. From overlooked prisoner profiles to the kind of dramatic incidents that incited riots or inspired Hollywood, Amy Steidinger's stories cover the modern era of Old Joliet Prison.

Download or read book Jailhouse Journalism written by James McGrath Morris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1980s alone, some 100 periodicals were published by and for inmates of America's prisons. Unlike their peers who passed their sentences stamping out licence plates, these convicts spent their days like reporters in any community - looking for the story. Yet their own story, the lengthy history of their unique brand of journalism, remained largely unknown. In this volume James McGrath Morris seeks to address the history of this medium, the lives of the men and women who brought it to life, and the controversies that often surround it.
