What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition, first printing.
In the original unclipped dust wrapper.
Illustrated with a frontispiece, and twenty-two plates. Collated, complete.
An account of Sing Sing, written by the prison warden, Lewis E. Lawes, who spent twenty-one years as Warden of Sing Sing Correctional Facility in New York, during which time he oversaw three hundred and three executions. This was Lawes' most famous work, and was made into films in 1932 and 1940.
This work details not only the history of the prison, the prisoners within and the executions, but it also illuminates the criminal mind.
