Publisher's Synopsis

""A Gentleman in Prison: With the Confessions of Tokichi Ishii Written in Tokyo Prison"" is a memoir written by Tokichi Ishii, a Japanese man who was imprisoned for murder in the early 20th century. The book was originally published in 1922 and has since been translated into English. In the book, Ishii recounts his experiences in prison, including his interactions with fellow inmates and his daily routine. He also reflects on his crime and the events that led him to commit it. The latter half of the book consists of Ishii's confessions, which he wrote while in prison. These confessions provide insight into his thought process and motivations, as well as his feelings of remorse for his actions. Overall, ""A Gentleman in Prison"" offers a unique perspective on the Japanese criminal justice system and the experience of imprisonment in the early 20th century. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in true crime or Japanese history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
