What was life like in prison during the 1940s and 1950s?

Sorry for not being more specific. I was mainly looking for information on prison in America's southern states. I am wanting to know about general living conditions, healthcare, food, etc.

hi! Could you specify which region you're referring to - e.g. a country, or state/province/etc? That will help identify which historian might be able to help you. Thanks!
