Writing about prison from the inside

Shane Bauer spent two years in an Iranian prison, then returned to the U.S. and reported on prisons here. His account of going undercover to work in a privately run Louisiana prison was recently published by Mother Jones and Davis Harper talks to Bauer about it: "I put in an application thinking, Why not? But I didn’t really think anything was going to come of it. If they Googled my name and found previous stories I had written, I thought that would disqualify me."
