520    Killer Looks is the definitive story about the long-
       forgotten practice of providing free nose jobs, face-lifts,
       breast implants, and other physical alterations to 
       prisoners, the idea being that by remodeling the face you 
       remake the man. From the 1920s up to the mid-1990s, half a
       million prison inmates across America, Canada, and the UK 
       willingly went under the knife, their tab picked up by the
       government.  In the beginning, this was a haphazard affair
       -applied inconsistently and unfairly to inmates, but 
       entering the 1960s, a movement to scientifically quantify 
       the long-term effect of such programs took hold. And, 
       strange as it may sound, the criminologists were right: 
       recidivism rates plummeted.  In 1967, a three-year 
       cosmetic surgery program set on Rikers Island saw 
       recidivism rates drop 36% for surgically altered 
       offenders. The program, funded by a $240,000 grant from 
       the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, was led 
       by Dr. Michael Lewin, who ran a similar program at Sing-
       Sing prison in 1953.  Killer Looks draws on the 
       intersectionality of socioeconomic success, racial bias, 
       the prison industry complex and the fallacy of 
       attractiveness to get to the heart of how appearance and 
       societal approval creates self-worth, and uncovers deeper 
       truths of beauty bias, inherited racism, effective 
       recidivism programs, and inequality.  "One surgeon's 
       unconventional project provides the narrative spine for a 
       fascinating, often-shocking look inside the American 
       prison system. Expertly and rigorously researched, Killer 
       Looks takes the reader through the little-known practice 
       of testing surgeries on prisoners, the rise and fall of 
       the rehabilitation movement, the surprising economics of 
       lookism, and the ingrained racism at the heart of all of 
       it. Stone writes with compassion and authority. I won't 
       soon forget this book."  "In Killer Looks, Zara Stone 
       shines a Sing Sing-wattage searchlight on the relationship
       between ugliness and criminality. She brilliantly flips 
       the subject to investigate why the public would prefer 
       higher recidivism to giving felons a "beauty bonus." 
       Killer Looks, capturing the nuances of a seven-decade 
       social experiment with convicts, is a tour de force."  
       "Through her engaging and insightful reporting, Zara Stone
       reveals a dark side of the history of plastic surgery. 
       This thought-provoking read encourages us to examine the 
       systemic problems of the criminal justice system that 
       exist today."  "Killer Looks is an eye-opener, and 
       essential reading in criminology."  "Stone's exhaustively 
       researched, eminently readable book offers a unique look 
       at the criminal justice system and how we can reform it." 
       "Graceful prose bolsters this fascinating account. This is
       essential reading for anyone interested in criminal 
       rehabilitation."
