Essential reading, a basis for understanding loss of civil rights and incarceration of current dissenters plus a portrait of prison life that has never changed. Eugene Debs was a secular saint and the Espionage Act, unconstitutional is still enforced.

I'll let the books front pages speak for it:

"The social environment is the cultural medium of criminality; the criminal is the microbe--an element that becomes important only when it finds a medium which will cause it to ferment.
/Every society has the criminals it deserves/" --Lascussagne

"My Prison Creed
While there is a lower class I am in it;
While there is a criminal element I am of it;
While there's a soul in prison I am not free." --Eugene Victor Debs

Since what we go through on Earth, is the continual turning of the tables-and those who are oppressed especially prisoners-return as those who will oppress us. That is why the people in power now are thieves psychotic satanists and child molesters and sadists. It is wrong to oppress anyone even criminals because they will eventually by Karma then oppress you, and that's why Jesus said" love your enemies". I am sure that Ron Paul is the reincarnation of Eugene Debs, and for a long time I had him confused with Ru Paul, then I found out he was a republican so I did not trust him. Then I read this great book and now I love Ron Paul/Eugene Debs
