Blakinger's story, in and out of prison is bleak, but as she narrates it in the audiobook isn't so harsh that it's impossible to take in. Her voice is blunt and youthful. She's done some things and seen some things and doesn't shy away from them. She is candid about the race and class privileges that make her story different from those of many of her fellow incarcerees. Now that she is out of prison, her journalism beat is Texas prisons, so she's giving back (and taking names).

This was hard to read but extremely well written. I learned so much about how the prison system works in the United States. I found myself invested in Keri’s journey and thinking about people in a way I probably hadn’t in the past.
