“Infectious Injustice” by Justin Cook plunges readers into the stark realities of life within the walls of San Quentin State Prison, offering a raw, unfiltered glimpse into the lives of those entangled in the American carceral system. Cook, writing from the unnerving proximity of personal experience, crafts a narrative that is as harrowing as it is enlightening, shedding light on the systemic failures and endemic corruption that underpin mass incarceration in the United States.
