Item description from seller

Neuware - NYT EDITOR'S CHOICE ¿ Peabody Award finalist ¿ National Headliner Award winner ¿ WASHINGTON POST BEST NONFICTION OF 2023 ¿ Shortlisted for the 2024 Chicago Review of Books Award ¿ FROM THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF HIGH-RISERS comes a groundbreaking and honest investigation into the crisis of the American criminal justice system-through the lens of parole.
