Hi! Anyone read any good nonfiction lately that they'd recommend? I'm between holds in my library queue rn and need a fix.

I read "Solitary" by Albert Woodfox - it's his account of spending decades in solitary confinement on shaky charges, partly as retaliation for his getting involved in the Black Panther Party while incarcerated. Definitely an eye-opening read about the US prison system and an inspirational read in some ways, given that he didn't let his decades in solitary confinement stop him from doing what he could to fight for better conditions in the prison
