Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison

Orange is the New Black was a really interesting look and perspective into the American criminal justice system. While I've had a vague familiarity with the concept of "mandatory minimum sentences," this book really demonstrated the effect that those laws have and how they lead to recidivism, homelessness, and a host of other social problems once prisoners are released.
