The marvel that was Barrett's "Review of Arts and Letters and Prison"
Barrett Brown's "review of arts and letters and prison" column, first published by D Magazine and then the Intercept, is one of the very best inside-prison looks at the horrors of the criminal justice system.
On ersatz Dungeons & Dragons, reading Gaddafi in "the hole," eating mouse, and Kissinger's biography, Brown's dispatches are lucid, funny, and terrifying, especially given the weakness of the federal case that convicted him.
