The grim experiences of the Scottsboro
Boys in Alabama prisons were discreetly veiled as long as
appeals were lodged in the courts. After his dramatic
escape in 1948, Haywood Patterson wrote an exposé
in collaboration with Earl Conrad. Ironically, while
peddling this book, Patterson got into a barroom knife
fight in Detroit and received a 15-20 year sentence at
Michigan State Prison, where he died from cancer in
1952.
