"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.

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."--BOOK JACKET.
