The first time Ravi Shankar was arrested, he spoke out against
racist policing on National Public Radio and successfully sued the
city of New York. The second time, he was incarcerated when his
promotion to full professor was finalized. During his ninety-day
pretrial confinement at the Hartford Correctional Center--a level
4, high-security urban jail in Connecticut--he met men who shared
harrowing and heart-felt stories. The experience taught him about
the persistence of structural racism, the limitations of mass
media, and the pervasive traumas of twenty-first-century daily
life. Shankar's bold and complex self-portrait--and portrait of
America--challenges us to rethink our complicity in the criminal
justice system and mental health policies that perpetuate inequity
and harm. Correctional dives into the inner workings of his mind
and heart, framing his unexpected encounters with law and order
through the lenses of race, class, privilege, and his bicultural
upbringing as the first and only son of South Indian immigrants.
Vignettes from his early life set the scene for his spectacular
fall and subsequent struggle to come to terms with his own demons.
Many of them, it turns out, are also our own.
