I adore Gattis and have been looking forward to this one for a long time! "The System" of the title is the California prison system, esp in LA county.

Very much enjoying this! Love how Gattis switches POVs deftly getting around the problem of seeing a story from only the single lens (1st or 3rd person) but not going for full omniscient. It's "omniscient light" in the best way possible. Or, well, I like it.

Our guilty & innocent pair are now at LA County jail, not a private jail, or at least that's not been specifically stated. However, this is taking place in 1993, so perhaps it's not an issue.

Just curious, is the system a privately owned enterprise in this novel?
