Inferno: An Anatomy of American Punishment

Are you concerned about the state of America's criminal justice system? Look no further than Inferno: An Anatomy of American Punishment, the best nonfiction book of the year according to Open Letters Monthly. This eye-opening book by esteemed law professor Robert Ferguson sheds light on the brokenness of our punishment regime.

With incarceration rates skyrocketing by 500 percent in just two decades, it's clear that something is wrong. Harsh sentences, overcrowded prisons, and ineffective rehabilitation programs have become the norm. But Inferno goes beyond the numbers and delves into philosophy, history, and literature to diagnose the root causes of this out-of-control system.

Notable figures like Andrew Cohen from The Atlantic praise Inferno, saying, "If I had won the $400 million Powerball lottery last week I swear I would have ordered a copy for every member of Congress, every judge in America, every prosecutor, and every state prison official and lawmaker who controls the life of even one of the millions of inmates who exist today, many in inhumane and deplorable conditions, in our nation's prisons."

Don't miss out on this important book that challenges our heavy reliance on imprisonment. Inferno provides a well-balanced and thoughtful perspective that can't be disregarded. If you're inclined towards avoidance and tragic complacency, this book is a must-read to broaden your understanding of the issue at hand.
