This course investigates the world’s largest Prison Industrial Complex as narrated from the inside out. We focus on memoirs, novels, essays and poetry by and about inmates and critical writings on the prison system. Some argue that it’s a system of “corrections” and paying a debt to society; others view it as the New Slavery.
