About this product
Product Information
After his 2014 expose about his experiences as a prison guard in a Lousisiana for-profit prison, Shane Bauer soon realised the cruelty of the current American system and its place in the larger story of mass incarceration cannot be understood without first understanding its origins. In American Prison, Bauer weaves together a deeper reckoning of his prison guard experience with a thorough history of for-profit prisons in America. A blistering accusation of the private prison system in the United States, American Prison is a necessary human document about the true face of justice in the USA.

Reviews
"A penetrating exposé on the cruelty and mind-bending corruption of privately run prisons across the United States...Nearly every page of this tale contains examples of shocking inhumanity...A potent, necessary broadside against incarceration in the U.S." -- Kirkus , starred review "Deprivation, abuse, and fear oppress inmates and guards alike in this hard-hitting exposé of the for-profit prison industry...A gripping indictment of a bad business." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Sometimes the only way to get the full story is to put yourself into it as an 'immersion journalist.' Shane Bauer wanted to know more about for-profit prisons so he got a job in one as a correction officer, or guard, and reports his experiences grippingly while weaving in the social and economic factors that give rise to these horrors. His book reveals much that that we didn't want to know about but, having learned about, can never forget." -- Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed " American Prison is a searing, page-turning indictment of America's practice of corporate incarceration. Shane Bauer reports in the best way a journalist can: by going into a prison himself. But then he connects the dots, drawing a persuasive through-line from plantations worked by slaves, to Southern prison farms, to corporate prisons. With this braid of history and reportage Bauer reveals the criminal nature of private prisons, a world of pain that is also a business. His is a beautiful rage." -- Ted Conover, Pulitzer Prize finalist and director of the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute of New York University, "A penetrating exposé on the cruelty and mind-bending corruption of privately run prisons across the United States...Nearly every page of this tale contains examples of shocking inhumanity...A potent, necessary broadside against incarceration in the U.S." -- Kirkus , starred review, "A penetrating exposé on the cruelty and mind-bending corruption of privately run prisons across the United States...Nearly every page of this tale contains examples of shocking inhumanity...A potent, necessary broadside against incarceration in the U.S." -- Kirkus , starred review "Deprivation, abuse, and fear oppress inmates and guards alike in this hard-hitting exposé of the for-profit prison industry...A gripping indictment of a bad business." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Bauer's amazing book examines one of slavery's toxic legacies, using convicted people to make profit . . . He observes an acutely dangerous and out-of-control environment created by CCA's profit-driven underpaying of staff and understaffing of prisons. Bauer's historical and journalistic work should be required reading." -- Booklist "Sometimes the only way to get the full story is to put yourself into it as an 'immersion journalist.'
