Overview

“Southern Prisons” provides a stark and unflinching look at the penal systems of the American South in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War. Written by Morgan E. Dowling, this historical account offers a detailed examination of the conditions, management, and societal impact of prisons during a period of profound social and political upheaval. The book delves into the challenges faced by both inmates and administrators as the South grappled with reconstruction and the reshaping of its institutions.
