“A deep ethnographic and empathetic dive into the boredom—but hypersociality—of drug treatment and the second-class citizenship imposed by ongoing US colonization of Puerto Rico. Wonderfully accessible and amazingly erudite.” * Philippe Bourgois, author of In Search of Respect: Selling Crack in El Barrio * “Parker’s observations are insightful, her interpretations incisive, and her prose elegant and engaging, raising critical issues about the intersections among incarceration, confinement, belonging, and rehabilitation.” * Jorge Duany, author of Puerto Rico: What Everyone Needs to Know *
