Description: Austin, TX, University of Texas Press, 2013. First Edition. Hardcover. B&W-photo illustrated DJ with black and grey lettering; grey boards with black lettering; 29 pp.; 137 unnumbered pages of plates; richly illustrated. "'Inside the Wire' presents a complete, irreplaceable portrait of the southern prison farm. With freedom to wander the fields and facilities and hang out with inmates for extended periods, Jackson captured everything from the hot, backbreaking work of hand-picking cotton, to the cacophony and lack of all privacy in the cell blocks, to the grim solitude of death row. He also includes some early twentieth-century prisoner identification shots, taken by anonymous convict photographers for the prison files, that survive as profoundly evocative human portraits."-- Publisher description.
