sydapel's review against another edition

funny hopeful informative slow-paced

4.5

This book has a lot to say about imprisonment in America, and I truly appreciate how the authors/co-hosts are able convey a lot just through interviews and their own personal perspectives. Somehow managing to be deeply informative and entertaining, what I am most struck by is the partnership between Nigel and Earlonne and how that informs their storytelling and purpose with this book and the podcast.  I really have never read anything quite like this before and the audiobook made this especially memorable.

A great read for fans of the podcast. Includes some excerpts from broadcasted shows, but also lots of fresh material. Gave greater insight into how and why the show was created as well as the personal stories of Earlonne and Nigel.
