Summary:

"The Nation Behind Prison Bars" by George L. Herr is a religious treatise written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the experiences and challenges faced by prisoners in the United States, highlighting the need for evangelistic efforts and the transformative power of faith. It serves as both a narrative of the author's personal journey from sin to salvation and a call to action for readers to support the cause of prison ministry. The opening portion of the work introduces the author as a prison evangelist devoted to uplifting incarcerated individuals through the Christian faith. Herr's dedication is illustrated through his personal struggles with addiction and subsequent redemption, which he now shares with others imprisoned. The text emphasizes the harsh realities of prison life and the necessity of compassion and understanding toward those within the correctional system. In the foreword, Herr expresses hope that readers will recognize the worthiness of laboring among the suffering and that they will be inspired to help guide the lost towards spiritual salvation.
