Care to be specific about where you found it?

"Edward Bunker, THE ANIMAL FACTORY (1977). I've never read any Bunker, but he's highly recommended by people on the list."

A very nice and, not surprisingly, very authentic reading prison novel. And Steve Buscemi made it a good movie out of it a couple years ago. Still, I prefer Bunker's No Beast So Fierce (AKA Straight Time), but that probably has more to do with my personal preference for just out of prison novels to inside prison novels than either book's relative quality.
