Overview

Excerpt from The Walled City: A Story of the Criminal Insane So far as I am aware no true story of the life of the insane criminal has ever been written for the general public. It has been told in a technical manner, of course, for the benefit of those interested in the scientific and sociological aspect of the subject, but such writings have little popular interest, and do not convey a cor rect picture to the Inind of the average reader. There have also been sensational writings by former inmates, or by well meaning enthusiasts, who have taken a hasty and altogether inadequate survey of some criminal institutions and upon this veneer have founded their stories. But none of these writings give the average reader a true picture Of the daily life as it goes on in these interesting institutions.
