Publisher's Synopsis
The Twin Hells is a gripping and thrilling narrative of life in the Kansas and Missouri penitentiaries, written by John N. Reynolds. The book provides a vivid and detailed account of the harsh and brutal conditions that prisoners had to endure in these institutions during the late 19th century. Reynolds, who himself was a former inmate, describes the daily routines, punishments, and abuses that were inflicted on the prisoners by the corrupt and sadistic guards and wardens. He also reveals the corrupt practices and political influence that allowed some of the most notorious criminals to escape punishment and even gain privileges within the prisons. The Twin Hells is a powerful and eye-opening account of the dark side of the American justice system and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of crime and punishment in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
