Summary |
Justice Restored is an exposé, history lesson, and powerful call-to-action not only to reduce the number of people in prison, but to fix the underlying causes that stack a deeply corrupt criminal justice system against the very citizens it was meant to protect. Each of the book's ten chapters lays out one aspect of the problem, with a detailed prescription for its reform. |
