"The work is essentially a heavily documented expose, but one with significant policy implications. Kopczynski is a well known expert on private prisons...(t)he book tells a tale of how he developed his expertise and anti-privatization convictions through his investigation of the private prison industry in Florida, and his subsequent exposure of a scandal that had reverberations throughout the industry...If this book were only about individuals whose greed led them to run afoul of ethics rules and who were hoisted on their own petard, it would be an interesting but not nearly as important as it is. What makes this a cautionary tale that deserves to be better known is that Kopczynski reveals patterns in the way that for-profit prison vendors do business."
