byrdy's review against another edition

informative medium-paced

3.5

I really liked the back and forth of the chapters (one chapter on the history of the for-profit penal system, one chapter of author's experience in the prison). By the end, however, I was wanting more explicit writing on possible solutions to the current issues and the balance of justice and humane treatment of prison staff and prisoners.
