Hell Is a Very Small Place: Voices from Solitary Confinement by Jean Casella, James Ridgeway, Sarah Shourd

4.0

A well rounded and very informative book. The information in the last chapters provided so much context on the issues, what's been done, what he challenges are, and where we can and should go from here -- and the first 3/4 give personal accounts that make it real. The combination is very powerful and while I have to admit I skimmed some of the final chapters due to information overload I feel like I have a new appreciation of the issues and learned more than I expected. I'm so interested to discuss at book club and read more about the topic- it goes without saying our prison system is in need of some major reform. Great read for anyone interested in learning more about this topic
