Abstract:James Campbell, Edinburgh Review editor, was given a unique opportunity to spend several months in prison, (though he went home at the end of each day) with a cell of his own to which, he made it known, anyone could come to talk, to just sit or raise any matter that might be troubling him. "While I never forgot that I was dealing with him the law had deemed a criminal, I always recognised him as a man first and an outlaw second," says Campbell. This is a very intimate study of prisoners and prison life and one that gets deep into the system under which those who do wrong are meant to be punished for their sins and sent back to the world, redeemed.
