Abstract

The article focuses on a study examining Eugene V. Debs's experiences in prison from 1919 to 1921, specifically at Moundsville prison and the federal penitentiary in Atlanta. Conducted by researchers at Wayne State University, the study analyzes Debs's relationships with fellow inmates and supporters, the impact of prison life on his ideology, and critiques of the prison system, including the treatment of people with drug addiction and the links between capitalism and incarceration. The research highlights Debs's prison memoir, "Walls and Bars," as a significant work reflecting these themes. The findings have been peer-reviewed and are published in a scholarly journal.
