Emma Goldman was a passionate critic of the prison system, criticizing both the treatment of prisoners and the social causes of crime. She considered crime as a natural outgrowth of an unjust economic system, and in her essay "Prisons: A Social Crime and Failure" (1911), she quoted liberally from the authors Fyodor Dostoevsky and Oscar Wilde on the subject.
