Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the days of the wild West, Montanans have struggled to be "tough on crime" with limited resources. During Montana’s early territorial years, "criminal justice" was almost nonexistent: a few towns had inadequate and chronically overcrowded jails; occasional prisoners were sent east to the federal penitentiary in Detroit; and vigilantes summarily dealt with others suspected of crimes. In 1871, the federal government funded a penitentiary in Deer Lodge that was turned over to Montana when it achieved statehood in 1889. In this absorbing book, Keith Edgerton provides a social history of the Montana Penitentiary, with a primary focus on its early, formative years. After statehood, Montana leased its penitentiary to contractors, who utilized cheap inmate labor to turn a profit for themselves and for the state. Warden Frank Conley became a regional political boss and amassed a personal fortune, using inmates for road construction and a variety of public and private projects. Eventually, charges of corruption led to his ouster by Governor Joseph M. Dixon and sparked a trial and heated controversy that resulted in Dixon’s political downfall. After 1921 the prison system came under full control of the state government. Although there were changes at the penitentiary during the rest of the twentieth century--and two full-scale riots in the 1950s--there was also a depressing repetition of corruption, neglect, and underfunding.

Book excerpt: Throughout history, and in today's times, there has always been conflict between the pursuit of law and order and citizens' concepts of justice. Ideally, the two virtues should be served by a single authority but in the early days of Montana Territory, they climaxed in an ultimate test. Earnest citizens had to secretly unite to organize a vigilante committee and hunt to ground the ruthless band of outlaws headed by, none other than, Territorial Sheriff Henry Plummer who represented the only source of "law and order" in Montana's gold fields. This colorful chapter in Montana's pursuit of statehood was its first taste of real justice and its influence has had a lasting influence on Montana's concepts of law and order. The Montana Vigilance Committee was officially organized on September 23, 1862, and to this day, has never officially disbanded.
