Summary: "Prisons and Prayer; Or, a Labor of Love" by Elizabeth Ryder Wheaton is a heartfelt account of the author's two-decade-long mission work among prisoners and marginalized individuals, written in the early 20th century. The book details Wheaton's experiences as a prison evangelist, highlighting her commitment to spreading the gospel in prisons, reformatories, and other places of despair.
