Perpetrator – Bystander – Victim
As a 20-year old, Krystal Riordan watched as her violent boyfriend/pimp
beat an 18-year old woman to death in a vermin-infested hotel room.
Could she have stopped it? Would she be next?
In 2010, when the average sentence for murder was 24 years, she
was sentenced to 30 years, for failing to intervene. By law, she must
serve 85% of her sentence before she’s considered eligible for parole.
Studies suggest that many women who don’t attempt to stop
their partner from commiting a violent crime often serve more
prison time than the perpetrator.
What does it take to survive in a maximum security
lockdown for thirty years? Is it possible to thrive?
An illuminating account of a somber world behind bars. – Kirkus Reviews
