4.5
A must read, an excellent take down of the prison complex and humans obsession with watching bad things happen to one another. Every now and then the language felt a bit pretentious, but that’s just personal preference I think. Excellent, and also, a tough read (VERY SAD).
Graphic: Death, Torture, and Violence
Moderate: Racism, Self harm, Suicide, Blood, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Rape
