good books on prisons & prison life?

i ve become very interested

I would suggest Corrections: An Introduction by Richard P. Seiter. I used this book in my corrections class in college. It contains the history of prisons and a realistic view of prison life for inmates.

There is NO movie that accurately portrays prison life these days. Try "Chicken Soup for the Prisoner's Soul"

Rita Hayworth & The Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King If you want one that is the reality of living in prison today, this isn't the book though.

michel foucault's book, *discipline and punish: the birth of the prison,* is necessary reading if you're interested. (it's very theoretical, though, not fiction)
