5.0 out of 5 stars
Great history and a flashback to a very different time,
By A Customer
This review is from: American Siberia, or 14 Years Experience in a Southern Convict Camp (Patterson Smith reprint series in criminology, law enforcement, and social problems. Publication no. 105) (Hardcover)
Powell writes about his experiences running a (by todays standards) very brutal work camp for leased prisoners. Great reading not only for the details of how these turn of the century camps operated, but about life in early Florida. He describes the problems traveling throughout the state where there are no roads, avoiding lawless counties, being sized up by moonshiners, and attitudes of the locals. I only wish it were a longer book
