Bullock: Chronicles of Deprivation and Despair in an American Prison is not simply a book about conditions inside one of Alabama’s most notorious prisons—it is a collective testimony, a record of survival and resistance, and a call to confront the prison system as an instrument of state violence. Through a series of in-depth interviews with prisoners at Bullock Correctional Facility, journalist and writer Matthew Vernon Whalan brings forward the voices of people most often silenced: those who have lived, suffered, and endured inside the largest prison system in the world today.
