Yet Marching Powder is also the tale of friendship, a place where horror is countered by humor and cruelty and compassion can inhabit the same cell.

Women and children live with imprisoned family members. Inmates are expected to buy their cells from real estate agents. This book establishes that San Pedro is not your average prison.
