Originally published as a series on Reality Sandwich and The
Huffington Post, Exile Nation is a work of "spiritual journalism"
that grapples with the themes of drugs, prisons, politics, and
spirituality through Shaw's personal story. In 2005, Shaw was
arrested in Chicago for possession of MDMA and was sent to prison
for one year. Shaw not only looks at the current prison system and
its many destructive flaws, but also at how American culture
regards criminals and those who live outside of society. He begins
his story at Chicago's Cook County Jail, and uses its sprawling,
highly corrupt infrastructure to build upon his overarching
argument. This is an insider's look at the forgotten or excluded
segments of our society, the disenfranchised lifestyles and
subcultures existing in what Shaw calls the "exile nation." They
are those who lost some or all of their ability to participate in
the full opportunities of society because of an arrest or
conviction for a non-violent, drug-related, or "moral" offense,
those who cannot participate in the credit economy, and those with
lifestyle choices that involve radical politics and sexuality,
cognitive liberty, and unorthodox spiritual and healing practices.
Together they make up the new "evolutionary counterculture" of the
most significant epoch in human history.
