Big (for us) news. We've published our first Kindle book — Center of Detention, by Carol Smith and The News Tribune's Lewis Kamb.
The book is a collection of the reporting that Carol and Lewis did for a series of stories that ran in The News Tribune in September.
Here's something very nice that was said about it in Bender's Immigration Bulletin:
"This extraordinary in-depth investigation reveals the hard truths about the Northwest Detention Center."
- Daniel M. Kowalski, Editor-in-Chief
You can download Center of Detention from Amazon to read on your Kindle, or on a Kindle app for your phone or computer.
