I am not sure if this is a review of a book, the system, or myself. I am sure that more than a decade after it was written, Jean Harris’ Marking Time is still poignantly analogous to my life in prison. As the book makes unerringly clear, the biggest and most prevalent problem in prison is not the violence, but rather, the indifference. The days of physical cruelty may (for the most part) be gone, but the days of emotional cruelty live on.
