    <![CDATA[American jails and prisons confine nearly 13.5 million people each year, and it is estimated that six to seven percent of the population will be confined in their lifetimes. Despite these disturbing numbers, little is known about life inside beyond the mythology of popular culture. Michael Santos has dedicated the last eighteen years of his life to changing that fact. In his first book for the general public, he takes us behind bars and into the cellblock. Capturing the voices of his fellow prisoners with perfect pitch, Santos makes the tragic and at times inspiring stories of men from the toughest gang leaders to the richest Wall Street criminals come alive. From drug schemes, murders for hire, and even a prostitution ring that trades on the flesh of female prison guards, this book contains the never-before-seen details of prison life that at last illuminate the varied ways in which men experience life behind bars in America.]]>

    <![CDATA[In this unique and extraordinary book, Michael G. Santos helps others learn about the abnormal way of life behind the walls and fences of prisons. To provide readers with a more complete and realistic picture of the growing subculture that exists in prison, the author provides both his own experiences and observations of living as a prisoner, as well as dialogues, vignettes, and profiles of other prisoners and workers within the prison environment. This book addresses the unprecedented growth in the prison system over the past two decades, and asks future correctional professionals to critically examine the current prison system.]]>
