Publisher's Synopsis

Prisons And Prisoners: Some Personal Experiences is a book written by Constance Lytton and published in 1914. The book is a memoir of Lytton's experiences as a political prisoner in England in the early 20th century. Lytton was a suffragette and was arrested and imprisoned several times for her activism. She used the pseudonym ""Jane Warton"" to avoid being recognized and treated differently by prison authorities. In the book, Lytton describes the harsh conditions of prison life, including the poor quality of food, lack of medical care, and the use of solitary confinement as a punishment. She also recounts the experiences of other prisoners she met during her time in jail, including women who had been imprisoned for prostitution or petty crimes. Lytton's book is an important historical document that sheds light on the treatment of women in prison during the early 20th century. It also provides insight into the suffragette movement and the tactics used by activists to bring about change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
