Summary:

"What happens when a struggling rural town tries to revive its economy by inviting a prison in? Prison Town, USA weaves the absorbing tales of a laid-off mill worker-turned-guard, a tenacious dairy owner fighting "Prison industries, " and a transplanted inmate family over the course of two years. With these engrossing narratives and a background chorus of vivid voices, from lifer inmates to local ranchers who say they were duped, prison-boosting politicians to teenagers looking for a way out of town, Prison Town, USA reveals the untold story of the legacy of America's prison building frenzy on hundred's of rural prison towns that once invited them in."--Container.
