Eight Months in LA County Jail: The Most Dysfunctional Jail in America!

By Dillon Woods

This work of fiction tells the story of John Alphonso and his expedition into LA County Jail where he kept a journal of his experiences and reflections. The story pulls from real-life sources and describes in detail what life is like at LA County Jail in the year 2016. Known as "the worst jail in the world," it delves into the issues of the American prison system in our modern times. No country in the world incarcerates more of its own citizens than the United States of America. Even China, which is an authoritarian country (with four times the population of America), does not come close to incarcerating more of its citizens than the United States does. Reading this book will take you on a journey of ideas as to what some of the major problems might be with the American prison system and what is at the root of these problems.
