Quick quotes
Racism is a major cause of mass incarceration. It is a simple yet complicated fact that black suspects are treated harsher than white ones. From suspicion, investigation, arrest, bail, indictment, jury selection, blacks are handled differently.
Utterly terrifying.
Nauseating and hard to get through knowing these are all true stories. Well researched, well written, and absolutely insane.
