Hard Labor and Hard Time fills a significant gap in the literature on southern prisons and punishment by presenting a history of Florida's state prison system between the 1910s and late 1950s, specifically the state prison farm at Raiford (the third largest prison farm in the South at this time) and the chain gangs and road prisons scattered around the state.
