Prison conditions shaped the form Gramsci’s theoretical work took
Evidence
It was here in Turi, from February 1929 onwards, that he set to work on his Prison Notebooks . Conditions in Turi were slightly better than they had been in Milan, if only because he was allowed to write and to receive books (if not as many as, or all those which, he would have wished), and because he had a limited contact with his fellow-prisoners. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 229
