American Prison: A Reporter's Undercover Journey Into the Business of Punishment by Shane Bauer

4.0

Interesting read about private prisons in America. The inside story was good enough but nothing totally surprising. The most interesting part was the description of how the prison came to be an entity in the criminal justice system. I am always so naively shocked by how people can miss that there is a slight conflict of interest somewhere in the existence of these institutions.
