Review
"The book is in the best tradition of investigative journalism, paced like a fine novel, it carries the authority of meticulous academic research." -- The Independent "[Parenti's] exhaustively documented text deserves a full hearing from anyone serious about ending the often horrific realities of the criminal justice system." -- Washington Post Book World "Essential reading for those in law enforcement and politics."-- Times Literary Supplement "A fast read, angry and compelling. -- Philadelphia City Paper "This dark, unflinching look at what our nation has become ... cannot fail to generate serious thought about issues we prefer to lock away in darkness.".-- Christian Science Monitor
