The Hot House: Life Inside Leavenworth Prison

I found this book fascinating. The indepth interviews with the inmates and guards were insightful and very interesting. If you have ever wondered what goes on behind the walls of a prison, day to day, this is the book for you. He also gives a history of the prison system, how guards are trained and tactics inmates uses to thwart the system. Another good book on this subject is Newjack by Ted Conover.
