This book is equal parts informative and narrative. Rather than just giving out dry facts, the author uses case studies to talk about the real impact on incarceration. You can tell the author cares and is passionate about the subject, which makes it a really compelling read. This is the kind of book that makes you angry, because you need to be angry. A great, informative read.

"The slim few who have fought to preserve the memory of the House of D are mostly working-class lesbian/bisexual women and transmasculine folks-the people most likely to fall into its clutches, and least likely to have other landmarks to call their own."
I picked this up on a whim and it was worth every cent. It looks at the history of the New York Women's House of Detention and the overall intersection between prisons and gay culture. Very informative, very well written.
