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."
