Prisons and Prayer; Or, a Labor of Love

A veteran prison evangelist recounts over two decades of gospel work among incarcerated and marginalized populations, describing visits to prisons, reformatories, rescue homes, saloons, and streets across North America and beyond. The narrative blends firsthand anecdotes, testimony of conversions, descriptions of cruelty and injustice witnessed inside institutions, and appeals for more devoted workers and compassion. Written largely from memory rather than systematic record, the account emphasizes spiritual redemption, practical ministry to the needy, the emotional burdens of outreach, and a persistent call to relieve suffering and reform conditions for those confined.
