He was imprisoned in Iran and so often had difficulty with feelings of solidarity with the prisoners while service undercover as a prison guard. I feel similarly, but really thought he was doing a little virtue signaling with this. Mother Jones journalist Shane Bauer, after agonies of hand-wringing, decides to tell the truth of who he is on his application as telling a lie is not his style. What I know is, once you are in the system it is far more difficult to stay out than anyone wants to believe. I’ve visited in jails, a state-of-the-art youth facility, and a worn-out state prison. More important to me was the prison experience of a family member. That was one consideration–I like to see what movers & shakers are reading these days. A lot of people will read this because President Obama recommended it.
