As a teenager, I learned more in a San Francisco Drunk Holding Tank about encarceration/prison than I did reading this BORING BOOK as a full blown experienced adult!! To be honest I got half way through the book, then trashed it. I had previously read other reader's thumbs down review of this book and yet I still bought it! Oh, Its a really odd size book! Its almost a flat bible size book! Bizzare!! Boring and useless info is my opinion... David
