Capitol Punishment is a non-fiction memoir by former lobbyist Jack Abramoff, released after his 43 month stay in federal prison. The book details the author's life in Washington as a power broker and lobbyist. In an NPR interview, when asked why he wrote the book, Mr. Abramoff responded that while in prison he did a fair amount of soul searching and decided that the least he could do was expose the lobbyist system in Washington for what it really is. . Abramoff has expressed contempt for many of the people he has worked with, calling them "idiots", "monkeys", and other derogatory terms. The book details the inner workings of the Washington Abramoff knew, and is meant to expose what Abramoff has called the real crime of the Washington lobby. This real crime, according to Abramoff, is not what is illegal in Washington (he claims the great majority of what he did was legal), but rather what is legal.
