Any book recommendations? 

Depends on what you're looking for! I most read nonfiction (although I do read fiction from time to time) and I tend to gravitate towards books about American history/politics and the criminal legal system. My favorite book is Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson (just finished a reread actually), but some books I've read recently that I liked are

We Own This City by Justin Fenton

San/dy Ho/ok (people on this website are weird) by Elizabeth Williamson

Junk Science and the American Criminal Justice System by M. Chris Fabricant

Let the Lord Sort Them by Maurice Chammah

Invisible Child by Andrea Elliott

I also have a random but very intense interest in high-altitude mountaineering disasters (specifically the 1996 Mount Everest disaster) so if that is something that appeals to you I can make recommendations lol

From prison to Carnegie Hall

THE FORGOTTEN HISTORY OF AMERICAN PRISON MUSIC “We can begin to find the way out with our ears.” There is a rich legacy of music-making in prisons, dating back at least 100 years. From the Prisonaires in 1950s Memphis to the 2020 release of a critically acclaimed mixtape that Drakeo the Ruler recorded entirely from jail, the human connections afforded by art are rehabilitative for those making it and redemptive for everyone. To accompany this essay, Maurice Chammah dug into archival material to gather old photographs and assembled a playlist of songs recorded behind the walls.
