@pluralistic So long as I'm recommending @pluralistic I should also talk about his latest book? Not sure how he does it, but all of the things in the book are things I've read about: the 998 gangs in the sheriff's department, the ponzi schemes, the incarceration industry, California's overcrowded prisons etc etc. But how he manages to put them all together into a story is incredible. Also, he said to recommend the book, so this is it.
