Writing My Wrongs: Life, Death, and Redemption in an American Prison by Shaka Senghor
4.0
Good, fast read. Horrifying and enlightening look at our totally screwed up prison system.
I was totally engrossed at the beginning, but the development slowed down in the second half. Senghor has a great voice, but it started to feel too "memoir-y"--meaning although he denounces and investigates his actions, you know he's of course the good guy in the story. Just the nature of powerful redemption stories. Anyway, I still read it over the course of 3 days, so I'd definitely recommend!
