520 $a"Alderson" is the Federal Woman's Reformatory, nestled in the picturesque valley of mountainous West Virginia with cottages presenting an aura of tranquility to the unknowning. For 28 months the author "resided" there following conviction under the thought-control Smith Act because of her communist beliefs. Here is the life behind the peaceful facade.
