American Gulag: Inside U.S. Immigration Prisons Paperback - 2005
by Mark Dow
The freelance writer and poet takes an unprecedented look inside the secret and repressive world of U.S. immigration prisons.
First line
The letter begins with elaborate politeness and without question marks: I must thank you for your kind understanding.
From the rear cover
"Prisoners who have had no trial, guards who humiliate and assault them: It sounds like a scene from Stalin's U.S.S.R., but it is a reality in the United States today. American Gulag tells the horrifying story of men, women and children detained indefinitely by U.S. immigration officials as it has never been told before. It sounds an alarm for us all."--Anthony Lewis, author of Gideon's Trumpet
"Through the eyes and ears of immigration prisoners, their lawyers, and their jailers, Mark Dow sheds light on the netherworld of immigration detention, and compels us to confront how we treat the most vulnerable and voiceless among us. His work is a clarion call for justice from behind bars by those who have been sentenced to serve time without having ever committed a crime." David Cole, author of Enemy Aliens: Double Standards and Constitutional Freedoms in the War on Terrorism
