Description
In 1967 Danny Lyon was given permission to photograph, without restriction, the convict life of Texas. This book is the result of fourteen months spent inside the six Taxes penitentiaries. Lyon adds a new dimension to the nationwide crusade against our useless, brutalizing and antiquated penal system.
