  • Summary

  • Drawing from their own experiences of incarceration, authors Jarrod Shanahan and David Campbell offer an unprecedented look inside New York's notorious Rikers Island jail in their compelling new book "City Time." They meticulously document how incarcerated people construct complex social systems and survival strategies within an environment defined by structural racism and institutional neglect. Through their intimate perspective as former detainees, they reveal the intricate unwritten rules, relationships, and daily rituals that emerge among those serving "city time" - sentences that, while too brief for state prison, expose the profound dysfunction of America's carceral system.
