I borrowed this book on recommendation from a friend.
Maybe I'm a bit unfazed by reading about extreme conditions, but reading this, I was constantly waiting for things to get interesting (i.e. more violent). But it never did. If one were to assume that prison was like a country club..... well, it's not - you're still deprived of some very basic needs, but neither is Federal minimum security prison a haven for violence and abuse. It's probably very different in men's prison.
It was a decent book though, and I learned a little about prison culture, through the eyes of a privileged white girl in possibly the safest prison situation.
