Octavo. 48 pp. Extensively illustrated from photographs. Publisher's teal wrappers with red lettering and a large decorated border. Some finger soiling to rear wrapper else a very good copy.The publishers Work & Hope and printers and writers were all inmates of the Moundsville Penitentiary in West Virginia. Likely they worked in the hope of getting released as for a time the Moundsville Penitentiary ranked on the United States Department of Justice's Top Ten Most Violent Correctional Facilities list. The photographs herein present a different story of course. We see a beautiful chapel clean and tidy cells and prisoners at work in the shirt shop the broom shop and the whip shop. There are also photographs of the gothic prison itself. When it was built it was outside the town but by the time of closing it was right in the middle of a residential zone One of the countries most famous pre-historic mounds lent its name to the town.'The West Virginia Penitentiary in Moundsville was built in 1876 and closed in 1995. During its working history it was deemed as one of the most violent prisons in the U.S.A. seeing its fair share of riots murders and executions. Conditions were less than adequate and humane with the cells and rooms crawling with vermin and cockroaches.During its operation there were 36 reported murders and 94 executions. This does not take into account the suicides and accidents which take the total number of deaths to nearly 1000" A. Oborn 2019 Work & Hope unknown

A son éditeur Nicolas-Joseph-Désiré Vanackère (1755-1840), à propos de la préparation de son ouvrage Examen historique et critique des diverses théories pénitentiaires. « Je vous retourne la dernière épreuve que j'avais d'abord signée pour le bon à tirer, mais qu'en relisant avec attention j'ai trouvé trop chargée de fautes graves pour n'avoir pas besoin de la revoir une troisième fois. Je remarque que les chiffres que vous employez dans le cours du texte sont beaucoup plus élevés que les caractères, et cela me semple faire un mauvais effet. Si vous n'en avez pas d'autres, il faudra bien s'en contenter, car de plus petits feraient un même mauvais effet. Je désirerai faire une table analytique, mais pour cela, j'aurais besoin que vous me [passage illisible] ne pouvant m'occuper de ce travail qu'à mes moments perdus.

2012216 pages. Index. Bilingual English/Italian. Illustrated primarily in black and white. "The very sensitive story of BC's Italians classified as enemy aliens during World War II. Raymond Culos' documented research and prose provide an enlightened analysis of the Government of Canada's rationale for arresting and incarcerating Italians suspected of being members of a local fascist organization. He also presents testimony of the suffering of family members of the POWs. Culos further illustrates the sense of frustration, anger and yes, sheer mortification felt by hundreds of loyal citizens required to report monthly to the RCMP. In the midst of this incredible chapter in Canada's wartime history the reader becomes aware of the BC Italian Canadians who publicly swore allegiance to King and Country and those who served in the defence of Canada. A number of these servicemen were on active duty while members of their families were being scrutinized by the RCMP." - from dust jacket. An unread copy.
