(1) YA The book opens with candid interviews introducing three inmates, all teenagers when they committed crimes. Next we meet family members of victims and inmates, then an anti–death penalty attorney. These profiles paint an unrelenting picture of the prison system, putting human faces on the issue and arguing that punishment often has as much to do with race and class as with justice.
