Denny Mojica’s Reviews > Chain-Gang All-Stars > Status Update

My partner gifted me a paperback copy of this for Christmas so it's time for a reread :)

The way there are real life statistics about the American prison industrial complex and the reality that Black people have the highest incarceration rate followed by other people of color mixed in with the plot is executed so well. It doesn't feel out of place as one character learns about the chains but also it makes the meaning so much more digestible for people who don't know about our prison systems.
