Download Mr. Smith Goes to Prison: What My Year Behind Bars Taught Me About America's Prison Crisis AudioBook Free
The land from politico to prisoner isn't necessarily long. But the getting, as Missouri point out senator Jeff Smith discovered, is a difficult one. In 2009 2009 Smith pleaded guilty to a relatively minor charge of campaign malfeasance and received himself annually and 1 day in Kentucky's FCI Manchester. Mr. Smith Would go to Jail is the fish-out-of-water story of his amount of time in the big house, of the people he attained there and the things he discovered: how to flee the attentions of fellow inmate Cornbread and his friends in the Aryan Brotherhood; what constitutes a prison car and who's allowed to ride in yours; how to bend and break the guidelines, whether you're a prisoner or an officer. And throughout his sentence, the young senator tracked the greatest offense of all: the deliberate misuse of untapped human potential. Smith noticed the energy of an incredible number of inmates harnessed as a source of alternative energy for America's prison-industrial complex, something that seeks to build better thieves rather than better citizens. In Mr. Smith Would go to Jail, he traces the splits in America's prison walls, exposing the shortcomings of any racially based routine of poverty and offense that sets inmates up to fail. Speaking from inside experience, he offers useful answers to jailbreak the nation from the financially crushing hold of its own prisons and to jump-start the rehabilitation of the a huge number living behind bars.
