In the past year, we have seen a number of very high-profile prison breakouts. As the world has watched these events unfold, many have quickly concluded that our lightening-quick response to prison escapes and breaches is only possible because we are outsourcing our most basic security task to private companies. However, American Prison is a riveting and contrarian account of what it takes to build and run America's prisons. Shane Bauer follows Jason Echevarria, who has spent his life building up one of the nation's largest private corrections companies. Through this story, he challenges the widespread assumption that privatizing prisons means they are safer than public ones, or that privately run prisons are more humane.

"In American Prison, Shane Bauer set out to better understand a system that he believes is the moral and economic equivalent of slavery. His work as an investigative reporter for Mother Jones turned into a series of undercover assignments in nearly three dozen states."
