Thirteen Years In The Oregon Penitentiary is a memoir written by Joseph Kelley in 1908. The book details Kelley's experiences during his thirteen-year imprisonment in the Oregon State Penitentiary, where he was incarcerated for the crime of murder. Kelley's account offers a unique perspective on life inside the prison walls, including the daily routines, the harsh conditions, and the relationships formed between inmates. He also describes the various jobs he held while in prison, such as working in the prison laundry and as a clerk in the prison hospital. Throughout the book, Kelley reflects on his own personal growth and transformation during his time in prison. He describes how he learned to read and write, and how he became involved in educational and religious programs offered by the prison. Thirteen Years In The Oregon Penitentiary is a candid and insightful look at life behind bars in the early 20th century. Kelley's memoir provides a valuable historical perspective on the American prison system and the challenges faced by those who are incarcerated.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
