Summary "Convict Life at the Minnesota State Prison, Stillwater, Minnesota" by W. C. Heilbron is a historical account published in the early 20th century. The book explores the daily experiences of inmates within the Minnesota State Prison, focusing on various aspects of prison life including the reception process, work assignments, discipline, and the management of the institution.

The opening of the book provides a comprehensive overview of what new prisoners can expect upon their arrival at the Minnesota State Prison.
