The Nation Behind Prison Bars
by George L. Herr
Publisher: Carter printing company 1913
Number of pages: 176
Description:

For the psychological student, they form the most interesting of all objects of study. For the philanthropist, and for the Christian missionary, they constitute a wonderful field of activity. How to lift them out of the criminal strata is the question to which Mr. Herr is devoting his life, in an effort to answer.
