The history of Joliet's three prisons from 1858 to the 1960s is presented in a fascinating collection of photographs. The book opens with a history of the old Joliet Prison on Collins Street, then moves to the Women's Prison, and finally concludes with several photos of Stateville from its construction through through the era of Warden Joseph Ragen. |
