Worse than Slavery: Parchman Farm and the Ordeal of Jim Crow Justice

by David M. Oshinsky

 

The brutal conditions and inhuman treatment of African-Americans in Southern prisons have been immortalized in blues songs and such movies as Cool Hand Luke. Now, drawing on police and prison records and oral histories, David M. Oshinsky presents an account of Mississippi's notorious Parchman Farm; what it tells us about our past is well worth remembering in a nation deeply divided by race. Two 8-page photo inserts.
