About this product
Product Information
NO HUMAN CONTACT by the New York Times bestselling author of The Hot House, Pulitzer Prize finalist Pete Earley takes readers inside the criminal justice system, examining the brutal lives of those in solitary confinement in an eye opening narrative of reprehensible crime, draconian punishment, and seemingly impossible reform in the harshest depths of the country's most dangerous prisons. In 1983, Thomas Silverstein and Clayton Fountain, both serving life sentences at the U.S, Prison in Marion, Illinois, separately murdered two correction officers on the same day. The Bureau of Prisons condemned both men to the severest punishment that could legally be imposed, one created specifically for them. It was unofficially called 'no human contact.' Each initially spent nine months in a mattress-sized cell where the lights burned twenty-four hours a day. They were clothed only in boxer shorts, completely sealed off from the outside world with only their minds to occupy their time. Even

Reviews
Praise for NO HUMAN CONTACT "As he did in The Hot House and other books, (Earley) makes a strong case that solitary confinement is undeniably inhumane and antithetical to any kind of possible rehabilitation." -- Kirkus Reviews "Pete Earley has written a trenchant, unforgettable book about a prison system that breaks the souls of men through the use of solitary confinement and other forms of isolated detention. Don't look away from what's happening, still, inside the Bureau of Prisons." --Andrew Cohen , Senior Editor, The Marshall Project; Fellow, Brennan Center for Justice Praise for Pete Earley "Pete Earley is a fairminded reporter who apparently decided that his own feelings were irrelevant to the story. There is a purity to this kind of journalism." -- The Washington Post "A former reporter, Mr. Earley writes with authenticity and style -- a wonderful blend of fact and fiction in the best tradition of journaliststurnednovelists." --Nelson DeMille "A pageturner, as compelling and evocative as the finest novel. The best book on prison I've ever read." --Jonathan Kellerman on The Hot House "A superb piece of reporting." --Tom Clancy on The Hot House "The book is a large act of courage, its subject an important one, and . . . [Pete] Earley does it justice." -- The Washington Post on The Hot House "If you're going to read any book about prison, The Hot House is the one...For anyone who wonders why America imprisons its criminals this book is a must. It is the most realistic, unbuffed account of prison anywhere in print." -- The Kansas City Star on The Hot House "Searing, compelling... [A] fascinating whiteknuckle tour of hell, brilliantly reported." -- Kirkus Reviews on The Hot House "Earley tells us the story of Leavenworth...he creates an exceptional work of journalism." -- Detroit Free Press on The Hot House "This is a book that fits the cliché: impossible to put down." -- The Oregonian on The Hot House "This book is by a reporter, and gives the reader reporting at its very finest...The Hot House is a book that sucks one deep intothe darkness...[It} makes the reader feel in the room where secret things are being said." -- The Los Angeles Times on The Hot House "To [Earley's] credit, he does not romanticize the keepers or the criminals. His cool and concise prose style serves him well. . . .This is a gutsy book." -- Chicago Tribune on The Hot House "A combination of oldfashioned muckraking and genuine empathy...an important manifesto." -- The Washington Post on Crazy: A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness "Parents of the mentally ill should find solace and food for thought in [this book's] pages." -- Publishers Weekly on Crazy: A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness "Crazy is a godsend. It will open the minds of many who make choices for the mentally ill. Countless numbers of us owe PeteEarley and his son Mike a great debt." --Patty Duke on Crazy: A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness "The Washington Post Magazine reporter has constructed a masterful psychological portrait of a man seemingly without a soul. A Family of Spies is a classic of the genre." -- Publishers Weekly on Family of Spies, Praise for Pete Earley: "Pete Earley is a fairminded reporter who apparently decided that his own feelings were irrelevant to the story.
