American Prison: A Reporter's Undercover Journey into the Business of Punishment by Shane Bauer
In his bestselling book American Prison: A Reporter's Undercover Journey into the Business of Punishment, author Shane Bauer weaves a groundbreaking account of the brave reckoning with the connection that links prison to profit in the American prison system. In this book, Bauer reveals a deeper account of his experiences within the prison cells. He also shares a thoroughly researched history of the for-profit prisons that are present in America today, tracing back from their origins during the decades that led to the Civil War. As soon as Bauer realized this, he knew that we wouldn’t be able to understand the cruelty of the current prison system and its place in the much larger story of cruelty and mass incarceration without first understanding where all of this came from. Shane Bauer’s American Prison is an important document that reveals the true face of the justice system in America.
