An early play by the Nobel Prize-winning novelist John Galsworthy (1867-1933), originally published in 1910. The second ever theatrical performance of Justice so affected the then U.K. Home Secretary, Winston Churchill, that he immediately set out on a course of reform for the English penal system. The play features scenes of prison and conveys the tortures of prison life, especially solitary confinement.
