- catalog abstract ""Bandits & Bibles presents a lively array of selections from convict autobiographies that cover every facet of the prisoners' lives - crimes, arrests and convictions, punishments inflicted, and, in some cases, spiritual awakening. The harrowing tales of convict life presented in this volume leave no doubt that prison in the nineteenth century was far from easy. Hard labor in coal mines, whippings, solitary confinement in bare unheated cells, water torture, and iron maidens: These were just a few of the punishments meted out to these prisoners and vividly recounted in these pages."--Jacket.".
