It's a great book, with copious references and research behind it.
Bryan Stevenson's book 'Just Mercy' is also well worth reading, and directly relevant to this discussion. Stevenson was the lead in the supreme court case that led to death and LWOP being off limits for juveniles.
- giantg2 6y agoI've seen some stuff about the idea of the new Jim crow, but not that book specifically. There are a lot of issues in the justice system. They do allow injustices to be perpetrated on a racial basis, but not only on a racial basis. I'm currently dealing with a situation that involves rights violations by both the state police and a magistrate. There's straight up corruption going on and the system doesn't care.
