Summary: NEW MEXICO NOT MEXICO
Comment: Kelly J. Barnett needs to get the facts straight about the riot. The others that posted reviews knew the riot was in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Not Mexico. People back east need to know that New Mexico is part of the UNITED STATES. STOP BEING IGNORANT AND GET EDUCATED ABOUT THE STATES WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Summary: Warning! This book may make you angry!
Comment: I vaguely remembered when this riot took place, hearing it on the national news. They never really went into great detail, as to why the riots took place. However, this excellent book goes deeply into the corruption, the physical blackmail, and the awful conditions taking place inside this prison. This book will make you angry! This prison was a trainwreck waiting to happen, and those in power knew it. This book discusses specific events leading up to the riot, the overcrowding, the lack of proper amnentities, the threat of violence not only from inmates but from guards as well, all of these and more contributed to the horrific conclusion of that three-day-weekend in hell.
Yes, it is graphic, and not for those who don't want to know the torture endured by some of the weaker inmates, but the truth being exposed may keep the Mexico prison riot from happening again, there or in the U.S.

Rating: 5
Summary: I Used To Be An Officer In This Facility
Comment: Great book for those interested in such things. I was a corrections officer in this facility years after the riot. But knew officers and inmates who were present during that incident. The book follows the event very accurately. Good read.
