I A House Divided 1
Dedication
"I am convinced that the ideas of humanity and civilization would be better served if the torch were applied to every jail in Alabama. It would be more humane and far better to stake the prisoner out with a ring around his neck like a wild animal than to confine him in places we call jails that are reeking with filth and disease aiid alive with vermin of all kinds. They are* not only harbingers of disease, but they are unquestionably nurseries of death.
"If the State of Alabama wishes to kill its convicts it should do it directly — not indirectly. ' '
Dr. Shirley Bragg, President of the Convict Board of the State of Alabama, 1906.
