San Quentin

Bok av Michael Burgess
The coming of statehood to California in 1850 resulted in lawlessness, and the first state prison at Quentin Point in Marin County was established as a check. This book gathers together many key documents dealing with the earliest years of the prison, including James Harold Wilkins' seminal work, The Evolution of a State Prison.
