FROM THE PREFACE
THE CHRYSALIS is a unique work - the only collection of its kind ever published. Sociologists, criminologists and prison welfare workers have presented to the public page after page dealing with American prisons and the unfortunate strata of society found behind their walls, but they have never been convicted and to the minds of a great many, this makes a tremendous difference. The views presented in this volume are the first authentic collection of original manuscripts from the pens of the prisoners themselves.
