MICHAEL SANTOS PRISONER / SUCCESS STRATEGIST / AUTHOR
While serving time in the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Michael Santos has earned an undergraduate and a graduate degree. During the more than 21 years that he has served thus far, he has published extensively to help citizens understand prisons, the people they hold, and strategies to emerge from confinement successfully.
Michael Santos' narrative nonfiction is used in universities across America. The national media has acclaimed his work. Michael writes about the experiences of those convicted of crimes such as: mortgage fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, securities fraud and tax fraud.
The prisoners Michael Santos writes about serve time in federal prison camps. This literature describes strategies that others may use to navigate the criminal justice system and to thrive through prison.
In his newest book, Inside: Life Behind Bars in America, Michael Santos shows readers what it's like to live in America's jails and prisons. Using the voice of the penitentiary, he graphically describes a system infested with gangs, drugs, beatings, shanks, and extortion. From meth-crazed prisoners raping the weak, to female guards who prostitute themselves with the help of gang leaders, and murders in protective custody, Santos brings readers as close as they'll ever want to come to confinement.
It is not the sugarcoated version of "corrections" and "rehabilitation" that administrators want taxpayers to swallow. This book describes a $60 billion industry designed with policies and infrastructure that perpetuate failure.
Santos succeeds in introducing readers to the characters, values, and growing subculture festering inside America's prison system. With the soaring costs of keeping more than two million prisoners inside, this hard-hitting book is timely for all nonfiction readers.
