{"product_id":"the-addict-factory-andrew-wilson-9798223097648","title":"The Addict Factory","description":"\u003cp\u003eMany people seem to have an intrinsic curiosity about prison, as evidenced by the volumes of books, films, television series, and documentaries on the subject matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a former prisoner, I sometimes wonder about people curious to consume such content, contrasting older, more conservative people who might view such material with an eye to seeing justice executed upon scourges of their society to conversely, the youth culture that tends toward putting the prison experience on a pedestal-a badge of honour to be worn and brandished weapon-like to gain peer approval, a proving ground for masculinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe prison experience is paradoxical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt can be chilling in danger yet tethered to safety. Its monotony gruelling but excitement blood curdling. You can feel desolate isolation despite being surrounded by hundreds of people daily, but also develop the comradery known only to soldiers fighting at the front or pirates plotting, plundering, and pilfering.\u003cbr\u003eAs prison is a paradoxical experience, it is a near impossible task to completely encapsulate and convey for consumption to others who never have and, thankfully, never will experience it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is my attempt to give people glimpses of the paradox.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798223097648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.44d","brand":"Andrew Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930989445375,"sku":"9798223097648","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6a52202b-7461-452d-a881-fc7310c6d44e.jpg?v=1766345682","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-addict-factory-andrew-wilson-9798223097648","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
