As time ticks along with indifference, the inmates of the Washington District Jail drag on their daily routine behind bars. Innocent at their birth, these frail creatures who have lost their way now spend their lives shut out of society, deprived of all freedom, with little prospect of being readmitted into the human fold.Each prisoner has a story some of them are charged with crimes of assault, murder and manslaughter, others of forgery, robbery and larceny others still are not guilty of anything other than having been born to certain parents at a certain time in a certain country. A Long Day in a Short Life Maltzs first novel to be published in the UK is a powerful indictment of the penal system and a strong reminder about the underlying humanity of each individual.
