Synopsis

Innocent individuals across America are routinely imprisoned, their lives stolen by a flawed justice system through lengthy sentences or the death penalty. This book exposes how injustice permeates every stage of the legal process, from discriminatory law enforcement practices to a violent prison culture. It details over one hundred cases of wrongful conviction, spanning from early death row exonerees to recent instances of police corruption.
