A dark forecast on what the U.S. criminal justice system could become. Written from multiple points of view, it follows the struggle to survive, captures the indifference of the masses to inhumane behavior, and highlights the hope for reform via the social justice movement. This book will inform, enrage, inspire, and break you. Truly an incredible and impactful work.
