Journalists Graham Rayman and Reuven Blau have spent two years interviewing more than 130 people comprising a broad cross-section of lives Rikers has touched -- from detainees and their relatives to officers, lawyers, and commissioners, with stories spanning from the 1970s to the present day. The personal accounts that emerge call into question the very nature of justice in America. Offering a 360-degree view inside the country's largest detention complex for the first time, their voices take readers on a journey into every corner of Rikers -- a failed society unto itself that reflects society's failings as a whole.
