In Spanish and English. "This book is the unwilling result of researches on Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego in general. Several collaborators and I were working on a book with many photographs which show the evolution of Tierra del Fuego and, especially, of Ushuaia. But while we were doing research and looking for photographs belonging to archives, museums and private citizens, the material about the Prison grew substantially. [...] We tried to cover a large period - from 1884 when the first "prisoners" arrived till the closing of the prison in 1947." Heavily illustrated, unique book covering the history and experiences of prisoners and employees at the Ushuaia prison.
