Why read it?
1 author picked 30 Years Behind Bars as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I met Karen Gedney while traveling in Mexico. She started to tell me stories about her time as a physician at a male prison in Nevada, then gave me a copy of her memoir. Once I started the book, I couldn’t put it down.
The world inside a prison is one I know nothing about. After reading her recollections of inmates, bureaucracy, successes, and terrifying encounters, I have a far better sense of this very different world.
Her bravery and candor made this a totally compelling read.
