What it is about
In Russian and French Prisons (1887): written by someone who had been in both.
Context and history
Kropotkin escaped the Peter and Paul fortress and later spent three years in a French prison. The book is not memoir but study: what a prison does to those who enter it, and why it corrects nobody. It influenced European penal reform.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
