American Prison: A Reporter's Undercover Journey into the Business of Punishment
by Perfection Learning Corporation
Description
An undercover reporter’s journey into the machinery of incarceration reveals how punishment has become a business—shaped by contracts, incentives, and a system that often profits from suffering. Through immersive reporting, the book follows the people and institutions behind the scenes, illuminating the human cost of mass incarceration while tracing how policy, private interests, and everyday decisions converge inside American prisons. It examines themes of accountability, power, and the moral contradictions of a justice system that promises safety while producing harm. Written in a journalistic, investigative style, this account challenges readers to look beyond slogans and confront what “justice” can mean when the incentives are misaligned.
