Chain Gang All-Stars reads a bit like The Hunger Games where prisoners battle to the death for entertainment.
But, it takes it to the next level by marrying that not-so-distant dystopian reality with the very real statistics that plague our judicial and prison systems - a powerful message diluted by so many different character POVs.
