Download or read book Tennessee State Penitentiary written by Yoshie Lewis and Brian Allison and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Tennessee grew into a modern state, it found itself increasingly beset by crime. In 1831, the legislature approved the construction of the first penitentiary. The pen world was violent and dark, with several major riots, fires, and escape attempts throughout the years. However, the prison also gave birth to a culture of creativity born from despair, with entertainment shows often featuring the biggest names in country music sharing the stage with inmate bands. The best-known pen, "the Castle," has become a familiar icon to filmgoers, being used in productions like The Last Castle and The Green Mile. Today, the building sits abandoned, facing an uncertain future.

Book Synopsis Tennessee Convicts by : Charles a. Sherrill
Download or read book Tennessee Convicts written by Charles a. Sherrill and published by . This book was released on 2015-02-06 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The records of the Tennessee State Penitentiary can be viewed in two ways. A casual approach reveals a body of historical records of fascinating and valuable detail. But on closer reflection, the misery and evil reflected in the records will send a chill down the spine of the imaginative reader. Most people shrink from thinking much about prisons. But the process of dealing with crime and criminals in 19th-century Tennessee resulted in the creation of a huge body of records. They range from the minutes and case files of the local courts to the records of gubernatorial pardons. For both the historian and the genealogist, these records are well worth investigating. The purpose of this book is to provide both historical and genealogical information based on the earliest records of the Tennessee State Penitentiary. The impetus for the work came from the discovery of several ledgers maintained by the Keeper of the Penitentiary, who kept a careful record of each prisoner. These records, housed at the Tennessee State Library and Archives, provide fascinating glimpses into the identities of the inmates of the Penitentiary during its first two decades. The world these records represent can never be completely understood by modern minds, but a study of the laws providing for punishment and of the rules and procedures of the Penitentiary helps shed some light on them. Over 3,000 entries through 1850 with crimes listed from petty theft to murder, and include personal details of convicts (also family/birth information), when available. Following is a typical entry for most convicts: Name: James W. Grey, age 50, born in Tennessee, occupation: farmer. Convicted of fellony [sic] by a court in Knox County, and sentenced to 3 years in the Penitentiary. Received July 24, 1839 and discharged July 14, 1842. Notes: pardoned by Gov. Jones, Number in ledger 86: 409.
Book Synopsis Tennessee Convicts: Early Records of the State Penitentiary 1850-1870 by : Charles Sherrill
Download or read book Tennessee Convicts: Early Records of the State Penitentiary 1850-1870 written by Charles Sherrill and published by Tennessee Convicts. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 3,000 entries from 1850 with crimes listed from petty theft to murder. Includes personal details of convicts (also family/birth information). This second volume of Tennessee Convicts includes records of more than 3,000 inmates in the Tennessee State Penitentiary from 1850 through 1870. During this period the prison saw many changes, most notably the influx of military prisoners during the Civil War and a dramatic increase in African-American incarcerations in the years after the war. These records are excellent resources for the historian and genealogist. Despite their surface uniformity, these entries speak volumes about the history of the period. The fact that nearly every prisoner was pardoned by Reconstruction Governor William G. Brownlow, including, for example, Ned Dow, a "colored" prisoner from Weakley County convicted of rape in 1866, explains in part why Browniow was so despised by the former Confederates of the state. The imprisonment of Confederate guerillas such as Lincoln County physician John Woods, and of disobedient Union soldiers like William Conklin of the l0th Ohio, reflects the difficulties of the times. Prison officials rarely entered personal comments into the record, but occasionally appear to have been compelled to put their opinions on paper. For example, the entry describing R.H. Treadway, a printer convicted of petit larceny, includes this note: "Carried to this end like a great many others from a life of dissipation, visiting houses of ill fame and other similar places (groceries, gambling, saloons)." The larcenous habits of James Tilton earned him this remark: "Fifth sentence, and should he live he may come the sixth time.... He is naturally prone to steal." Most of this information was abstracted from ledgers 86 and 87 of the Tennessee State Penitentiary records (Record Group 25) at the State Library and Archives in Nashville. Volume 87 is arranged in a tabular format, giving basic information about each prisoner including name, age, place of birth, date received, county from which committed, crime, sentence, and discharge information. Volume 86 is in freehand and, although repeating much of the same information, also often includes notes about the prisoner's family and a physical description (the latter not included in this abstract). Because these manuscript records begin to be very sketchy during the Civil War period and contain many gaps thereafter, the published reports of the Penitentiary which were submitted to the Tennessee General Assembly were culled for information about prisoners from 1865-1870. The amount of detail about each prisoner provided in these published reports varies from year to year, but in general resembles that found in ledger 87. These reports may all be found at the Library and Archives, bound with the House and Senate Journals. Underlining has been added to confirm peculiar spellings, and [brackets] indicate text supplied by the transcriber, with question marks added where the original was unclear.
Book Synopsis Voices from the Inside by : Chinyere Ogbonna
Download or read book Voices from the Inside written by Chinyere Ogbonna and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2009-09-24 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voices from the Inside takes readers into the cells of a maximum security prison to reveal the personal accounts of over sixty women that are incarcerated for drug crimes. The stories will shock and entertain, and will certainly help readers to see more than the statistics behind drug offenses. Research included in this book examines the history of prohibition in the United States, with special emphasis on alcohol and drug prohibition, and analyzes empirical data pertaining specifically to the incarceration of female drug offenders in Tennessee. Personal interviews with these women regard the criminal justice processes both before and after their incarceration. This book is a must-read for those seeking to understand the impact of current drug policies on individuals and the community, as well as why these policies are not working.
