Overview: First-hand, grimly realistic account of a three-year imprisonment at Leavenworth, including descriptions of prison riots, escapes, and rampant graft among prisoners and guards. Wharton, a Chicago lawyer who served a term in Congress and had also been the Assistant District Attorney for Chicago, was convicted of conspiracy and material support of an armed mail-robbery in 1928. Wharton’s defense – that he thought his co-conspirators were only bootleggers, not train-robbers – apparently failed to impress the jury, and Wharton was sent to Leavenworth for a three-year stretch…another entrant in the large and entertaining pantheon of incarcerated Chicago politicians. A notably uncommon account, especially so in dustwrapper.
