Synopsis: The United States puts more people behind bars every year than any other nation, but what they experience inside our jails and prisons is almost entirely hidden from the view of the public. It's our country's dirty little secret. Randy Lancaster spent most of his adult life behind bars for crimes committed as a "steal worker," and this is the story of what he saw and experienced during his time inside US prisons. A powerful indictment of the US justice system and its long-standing corruption by money and power, and also a cautionary tale about how to avoid becoming a victim of that brutal and dehumanising system. Autobiography: Randolph Lancaster has spent a good portion of his life learning about the justice system from the inside. Now he lives a quiet life in Colorado and works to help people understand the broken and corrupt system of criminal justice in the USA by sharing his first-hand knowledge. He is also the author of From the Outhouse to the White House.
