The Nickel Boys is a historical novel by Colson Whitehead which, upon release in 2019, was instantly received as one of the greatest books of the decade. Based on the historic Dozier School for Boys, a reform school mired in a decades' long scandal of abuse and corruption, the book follows two young Black boys who try to find hope and connection while stuck inside a cruel and racist institution.

This book is one of the most compassionate, no-nonsense,and highly informative books about the system out there. It’s intended as ahelpful guide for people who are about to leave prison, but if you’re on theoutside and curious about the largely hidden, unconsidered, and technicalaspects of incarceration in the USA, this book, like its earlier companion, BehindBars, will blow your mind and maybe save your life, especially if you’reinvolved in the system.
