Summary: "Russian Prisons" by Arthur Griffiths is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the brutal realities and inhumane conditions faced by prisoners within the Russian penal system, particularly focusing on political dissidents and the widely notorious system of exile to Siberia. It delves into the historical context under which these prisons operate, highlighting the long-standing autocratic control over personal liberties in Russia. The opening portion of the work introduces the reader to the grim history of Russian prisons, characterized by harsh punitive measures against both common criminals and political prisoners. Griffiths provides an unsettling depiction of the conditions within prisons like St. Peter and St. Paul, as well as the exponential hardships faced by revolutionaries, including women and schoolgirls who were subjected to exile or execution for their beliefs. The narrative features the testimony of a woman who was cruelly treated during her imprisonment and a detailed examination of the rigorous measures inflicted upon prisoners, like flogging and execrable living conditions, that reveal the depths of human suffering endured in the quest for political freedom.
