""""Shugg has written a serious, exceedingly well researched and fascinating history, but his book also abounds with characters such as Butler; Warden Weyler; Tunnel Joe Holmes; Peter Bernacki, who broad-jumped to freedom; Eugene O'Dunne, the dapper young reformer who carried a cane and wore pince-nez; and Harry Benjamin, the only man to escape from Supermax--so far.""
