This is a great example of one of those books that just completely alters the way you think about the topic at hand. Honestly, I didn't know much about the prison before, but now? ...um...wow. I had to take a break in the middle of reading it because it was so intense. Definitely not for the faint of heart. Such a cool text to consider the role of research in creating a comic, too. I loved the information included at the end about how it was created.
