Reform and living art at West Virginia State Prison for Women
Reform and good living dominate the Peace Springs facility, a four year old hotel converted into a prison. Superintendent Sims fosters a student council and personal growth, with inmates trained in crafts and services, living in rooms decorated with family mementos while the campus gains a library, auditorium, and renovated cottages. The aim is rehabilitation over punishment, with no escapes reported and a campus-like atmosphere.

Tong The Imperial Way by Hanama Tasaki
Literary guidepost reviews Hanama Tasaki's Long The Imperial Way, an English-language account by a former Japanese Army private in China. The critic compares it to All Quiet on the Western Front but says it lacks that novel's genuine sincerity and stark impact, noting the conqueror’s bias marks the narrative throughout.
