The article focuses on the book "Ann Vickers," by Sinclair Lewis. "Ann Vickers," in brief, is a powerful social document. It is propaganda. It compels the lay reader, who would not dream of opening an official prison report or the essay of a professional penologist, not only to feel that our actual prison administration is desperately in need of reform, but to question afresh, or for the first time, the wisdom of the prison system itself, the very possibility of giving one set of human beings so much power over another without degrading both.
