This book was beautiful and brutal. I appreciated the different POVs from producers all the way to watchers of Chain Gang All Stars. Every POV was its own story that furthered the plot and made this a fast read. I appreciated the footnotes that gave real facts and statistics from the US carceral system and the citations in the back.
Graphic: Violence, Murder, Racism, and Torture
Moderate: Sexual harassment, Suicide, Homophobia, Sexual violence, and Racial slurs
