What Are We Trying to Accomplish, Again?

This fascinating book was written by an undercover journalist cum guard at a private prison in Winnfield, Louisiana. He has a unique perspective in that he was a prisoner himself, for seven years. In four months he was able to see and experience much of what is wrong with our prison system, today and since its inception. Reads like a suspense novel, but you're burdened with that unfortunate knowledge that this isn't fiction.
