   When I took Criminology (or perhaps it was Deviance), my professor made me read this book: http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Going-To-Prison/dp/1559501197

   It was written decades ago, and is still relevant today. Sadly, I think programmers should begin reading it, as prison seems to be growing into a larger threat for us.

   I didn't read this study, but when I was younger I read, "You are going to prison". It pointed out that so many rapes are carried out in prison. Even twenty years ago, my friends girlfriend said, 'Well, they deserve it!". My come back was 'but wendy, most are in there for non violent drug offenses. friends girlfriend, "Well that's not a legitimate book anyways--I was written by a ex-con". Well the book scared me.
