Atlanta, GA: VGood Words, Publisher, 1926. Wraps. Good. Item #022182
Wraps. Approximately 9 ¾ by 7 1/8 inches. 16 pp. A little magazine published at the United States Penitentiary in Atlanta, Georgia. It began publishing in 1913, soon after the prison opened. Julian Hawthorne wrote for the magazine when he was incarcerated there. The magazine for the most part had a "preachy, moralistic," tone, and often ignored news from within the prison (such as the release of Eugene Debs) (see Jailhouse Journalism: the Fourth Estate Behind Bars, p. 88). The journal was published until 1938, when it was replaced with The Atlantian. This issue does discuss some intramural sports, interspersed with moralizing, etc. With news on prison happenings, events, etc. GOOD+ condition. Moderate toning, mostly along the extremities. Minor soiling. Some creasing and curling along the upper and lower edge. Minor rusting to the staples.
