“David Campbell and Jarrod Shanahan both served city-time sentences at Rikers for protest activity. They spent their time, and subsequent years, closely studying these institutions, and have assembled their findings into a rich ethnographic account of a social order forged, against all odds, by some of New York City's most powerless people, in one of its most hostile settings. The result is a new book entitled City Time: On Being Sentenced to Rikers Island (out now with NYU Press).”
