Our Paper; Volume 18

By Massachusetts Reformatory

Our Paper, Volume 18, offers a glimpse into the lives and perspectives of inmates at the Massachusetts Reformatory in Concord. This unique publication, created by the prisoners themselves, provides firsthand accounts of daily life within the institution, reflecting their thoughts, concerns, and creative expressions. As a primary source document, Our Paper offers valuable insights into the history of penology and the social dynamics of a 19th-century correctional facility. It sheds light on the experiences of those incarcerated and their efforts to maintain a sense of community and self-expression behind bars. This volume is an essential resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the American penal system and the voices of those often marginalized by society.
