Before Orange is the New Black, there was Inside.
American jails and prisons confine nearly 13.5 million
people each year. Despite these disturbing numbers, little
is known about life inside beyond the mythology of popular
culture. Michael G. Santos, a federal prisoner nearing the end of his
second decade of continuous confinement, documents the lives
of the men warehoused in the American prison system. Inside:
Life Behind Bars in America, his first book for the general
public, takes us behind those bars and into the chaos of the
cellblock. Capturing the voices of his fellow prisoners with perfect
pitch, Santos makes the tragic—and at times
inspiring—stories of men from the toughest gang leaders to
the richest Wall Street criminals come alive. From drug
schemes, murders for hire, and even a prostitution ring that
trades on the flesh of female prison guards, this book
contains the never-before-seen details of prison life that
at last illuminate the varied ways in which men experience
life behind bars in America.
