Through its portraits of two men, imprisoned for murder, and the parole board that holds their freedom in the balance, 'Correction' offers a behind-the-curtain look at the process of parole in America. Austen's engaging storytelling forces a reckoning with some of the most profound questions underlying the country's values around crime and punishment: What must someone who commits a terrible act do to get a second chance?
What does incarceration seek to accomplish? An illuminating work of narrative non-fiction, this book challenges us to consider for ourselves why and who we punish - and how we might find a way out of an era of mass imprisonment.
