An inside look at detainment by ICE - this comes from a privileged woman using her voice for good. She notes that these prison complexes are for profit, thus much of the impetus for extreme deportations by ICE comes from these lucrative enterprises.

If you want to know why the world, especially the U.S. political system, is why it is right now (even though this book is focused on the Philippines) you should read this book.
And then delete Facebook.
