Focusing on the harsh realities of U.S. prisons, the book critiques the abandonment of rehabilitation ideals in favor of punitive measures, often influenced by political motives. It highlights issues such as life sentences for nonviolent crimes, inhumane conditions, and the rise of private prisons, particularly concerning juvenile treatment. Through thorough research, the author argues that these policies are not only cruel but also ineffective, showcasing the dire consequences of a society that prioritizes incarceration over reform.
