An essay exposes Pennsylvania’s solitary confinement in a Philadelphia prison, where No. 99 spends twenty years in a cell, allowed one hour outside, eating, working by primitive looms, and living isolated from the world, with no humane labor reform in sight.
A grocery notice warns customers that if they are unhappy with Schilling's Best products the grocer refunds their money and the retailer keeps the cash, prompting questions about the honesty of the policy and shopper rights.
The writer critiques the Philadelphia prison under the silent system noting overcrowding and partial silent regimes. It praises cleanliness management and humane staff while arguing the state should rehabilitate releasing inmates as better citizens rather than merely secure and feed them. A follow up on the whipping post is promised.
