Rumanian Communists in Jail

The article discusses about the imprisonment of the author's friend, who made an attempt to change the form of government. The author's friend had been sentenced for four years for his crime and the basis of his conviction had been written but unpublished article which had been instigated by an agent provocateur. He, his wife who was carrying the article to the printer, and the printer who was going to print it had all been sentenced. His brother and the author were going to visit him. The prison was located on the mountain top, overlooking the valley and town, and approachable only by a tortuous and unpaved road, typical of most roads in this country, and absolutely impassable for any sort of vehicle. Even the prison supplies had to be painfully carried up on men's backs.
