Injustice, Inc
by
Daniel L. Hatcher exposes how justice systems are harnessing America's history of racial and economic inequality into revenue-generating operations. Courts, prosecutors, probation, policing departments, and detention facilities are trading away ethics and justice to churn vulnerable children and adults into an unconstitutional factory enterprise. These justice institutions are entering contracts to make money removing children from their homes, monetizing harm from juvenile delinquency, child welfare and child support proceedings, extorting fines and fees, collaborating with private debt collectors, enforcing unpaid child labor, seizing property, incentivizing arrests and evictions, maximizing occupancy in detention and 'treatment' centers, and more. Hatcher details the disproportionately racialized harm and unconstitutionality of the injustice enterprise, and calls for opened eyes to our justice system failings--to walk a better path toward instilling truth into the words 'equal justice under law'.

Managed Dissent: The Law of Public Protest
by
Using non-technical, accessible language, this book analyses the laws, regulations, customs, and norms that affect public protest. It explains how the law of public protest imposes a system of 'managed dissent,' which has led to overly broad and punitive limits on public expression and collective protest.

Slanted
by
When Simon Tam started an American dance rock band called The Slants, he didn't realize that he was starting an entire movement around freedom of expression and discussions on identity. The band flipped stereotypes with their bombastic live shows and community activism. But when Simon applied to register a trademark on the band's name, the government dragged him all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States ... Simon provides a deeply personal account that will take you from anime conventions to the Supreme Court, all in the name of justice. The story provides a raw look at our legal system with unflinching honesty and offers timely insights on freedom of speech, how to connect with others we disagree with, and the power of music.

Abolish Criminology
by
Abolish Criminology presents critical scholarship on Criminology and Criminal Justice ideologies and practices, alongside emerging freedom-driven discourses that encourage a vision and practice of new world formations. The book introduces readers to a detailed history and analysis of crime as a concept and its colonizing trajectories into existence and enforcement. These significant contexts buried within peculiar academic histories are often overlooked or unknown in academic and public discussions, and representations of crime and the criminal legal system. The book offers written, visual, and poetic teachings through which readers, students, and educators can engage with the often discussed but seldom understood concept of crime and its enforcement through the criminal legal system's research, theories, agencies and dominant cultures. Abolish Criminology serves the needs of undergraduate and graduate students and educators in the social sciences, arts, and humanities. It will also appeal to scholars, researchers, policy makers, activists, community organizers, social movement builders, and various reading groups comprised of the general public grappling with the increased critical public discourse on policing and criminal legal reform or abolition.

Democracy in Captivity
by
Past and present efforts to reform prisons and mental hospitals are haunted by a desire to democratize custody. Embedded in this desire, Democracy in Captivity shows, is a persistent anxiety about who ought to govern ward life. Stuck in the middle of the social engineering efforts of both custodians and would-be democratic reformers are prisoners and patients themselves. Wards struggle for representation and, invariably, provoke backlash -- not only in the blunt forms of restraint chairs, riot gear, and a surgeon's scalpel, but also more covert sorts of maneuvering under the cover of 'democratic' management. Christopher D. Berk explains how these more subtle moves facilitate exploitation, entrench disenfranchisement, and naturalize authoritarian rule. In doing so, he uses custody as a lens to examine wider pathologies that have captured the politics of punishment today.

Purgatory Citizenship
by
Reentry after release from incarceration is often presented as a story of redemption. Unfortunately, this is not the reality. Those being released must navigate the reentry process with diminished legal rights and amplified social stigmas, in a journey that is often confusing, complex, and precarious. Making use of life-history interviews, focus groups, and ethnographic fieldwork with low-income urban residents of color, primarily Black men, Calvin John Smiley finds that reentry requires the recently released to negotiate a web of disjointed and often contradictory systems that serve as an extension of the carceral system. No longer behind bars but not fully free, the recently released navigate a state of limbo that deprives them of opportunity and support while leaving them locked in a cycle of perpetual punishment. Warning of the dangers of reformist efforts that only serve to further entrench carceral systems, Purgatory Citizenship advocates for abolitionist solutions rooted in the visions of the people most affected.

In This Place Called Prison
by
In This Place Called Prison offers a vivid and unique examination of religion within prison and argues for its key role among some of society's most vulnerable. Although prison is defined by control--from rules and routines to mandatory labor and monitored visits--for many, religion offers a way out. Religion challenges what it means to be punished and affords community and connection in the face of fear and isolation. Rachel Ellis spent twelve months conducting ethnographic research inside the guarded gates of Mapleside Prison, a US state women's correctional facility, talking with hundreds of incarcerated women, staff, and religious volunteers. Through their stories, Ellis sets the scene of mass incarceration today, detailing how contemporary prisons both reflect and worsen the systemic racial, social, and gender inequalities characteristic of the American landscape of profound stratification. She also offers insight into how religion relates to the carceral system, tracing the role of religious institutions throughout the history of prison punishment. Offering a trenchant account of how religion collides and colludes with the state in an enduring tension between freedom and control, In This Place Called Prison speaks to the human quest for dignity and light in even the darkest of places.

Reform Nation
by
In late 2018, the First Step Act was signed into law by President Donald Trump just hours preceding a government shutdown. It was one of the few major pieces of federal criminal justice reform since the 1970s to move towards reversing the incarceration frenzy that had characterized United States policy. While it did not amount to revolutionary reform, in Reform Nation Colleen P. Eren investigates it as a symbol for the larger movement's trajectory. Its unlikely passage during a period of political polarization was testament to the power of a new constellation of advocates, stakeholders, and strange bedfellow alliances. These intriguing and complex dynamics are indicative of a longer, twenty-year shift in which the movement became nationalized and mainstreamed. Using in-depth interviews with major players in the national movement, formerly incarcerated activists, celebrities, and donors, this is the first book to turn the mirror back on the criminal justice reform movement itself--the frames used, the voices heard, the capital activated among elite participants, and the bitter controversies. This snapshot in time raises much larger questions about how our democratic processes inform criminal justice policy, and where we are going in the decades to come.

The Returning Citizen's Survival Guide First Edition: Advice for navigating the barriers and obstacles of re-entry
by
Moving is considered one of the most stressful times in a person's life. Moving from prison back to life as a citizen adds a unique spin to the stress one experiences. Individuals exiting the correctional system are inconsistently prepared for re-entry. Many are disconnected from the reality of how to live and lack knowledge of what resources are available. A life of freedom is an achievement worth living for and requires a strong foundation to be built on. There are eight fundamental needs in order to survive life and have a shot at creating a life of freedom: housing; employment; transportation; food, clothing, hygiene; documentation; bank account; health care; support system. This book was written by a returning citizen for individuals preparing to be released from prison. However, this survival checklist is key for anyone going through a time of transition and change. These checklist items are the foundation for building a new life. Use this book as a resource to help you prepare to navigate and overcome the barriers and obstacles of re-entry.

Frontiers of Gender Equality
by
The book provides retrospective views of the struggles to eliminate gender discrimination in national courts and international human rights treaties. Focusing on gender equality enables comparisons and contrasts among these regimes to better understand how they reinforce gender equality norms. Different regional and international treaties are examined, those in the forefront of advancing gender equality, those that are promising but little known, and those whose focus includes economic, social and cultural rights, to explore why some struggles were successful and others less so. The book illustrates how gender discrimination continues to be normalized and camouflaged, and how it intersects with other axes of subordination, such as indigeneity, religion and poverty, to create new forms of intersectional discrimination.

Paper Valley
by
When government scientist David Allen arrived at his new jobsite in the 1990s, the Fox River near Wisconsin's Green Bay was dominated by hulking paper mills, noxious industrial odors, and widespread ecological damage. Confronted by his lack of resources to force the politically powerful "Paper Valley" polluters to fix their mess, Allen proceeds against all bureaucratic odds in building a $1 billion case against the paper company bosses. Two small but vital players, Allen along with journalist Susan Campbell were relentless in bringing the case to the public at the time. They do so again in this book: an act of radical transparency to uncover the intrigue that nearly blocked the cleanup behind the scenes at US Fish and Wildlife, Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources, and the US Environmental Protection Agency. In a rare and major environmental win, the Fox River became the site of the largest polychlorinated biphenyls cleanup in history, paid for by the paper companies rather than taxpayers, to the tune of $1.3 billion, and completed in 2020.

Courts, prosecutors, probation, policing departments, and detention facilities are trading away ethics and justice to churn vulnerable children and adults into an unconstitutional factory enterprise. These justice institutions are entering contracts to make money removing children from their homes, monetizing harm from juvenile delinquency, child welfare and child support proceedings, extorting fines and fees, collaborating with private debt collectors, enforcing unpaid child labor, seizing property, incentivizing arrests and evictions, maximizing occupancy in detention and 'treatment' centers, and more. Hatcher details the disproportionately racialized harm and unconstitutionality of the injustice enterprise, and calls for opened eyes to our justice system failings--to walk a better path toward instilling truth into the words 'equal justice under law'.

Crossing the River Styx: The Memoir of a Death Row Chaplain
by
The Reverend Russ Ford, who served as the head chaplain on Virginia's death row for eighteen years, raged against the inequities of the death penalty--now outlawed in Virginia--while ministering to the men condemned to die in the 1980s and 1990s. Ford stood watch with twenty-eight men, sitting with them in the squalid death house during the final days and hours of their lives. In July 1990 he accidentally almost became the 245th person killed by Virginia's electric chair as he comforted Ricky Boggs in his last moments, a vivid episode that opens this haunting book.Many chaplains get to know the condemned men only in these final moments. Ford, however, spent years working with the men of Virginia's death row, forging close bonds with the condemned and developing a nuanced understanding of their crimes, their early struggles, and their challenges behind bars. His unusual ministry makes this memoir a unique and compelling read, a moving and unflinching portrait of Virginia's death row inmates. Revealing the cruelties of the state-sanctioned violence that has until recently prevailed in our backyard, Crossing the River Styx serves as a cautionary tale for those who still support capital punishment.

Inside the Legal Profession
by
Central to Mercer University School of Law's mission is to help students envision their lives as lawyers and to inspire them to practice in the best traditions of the profession. Those purposes led to the creation of Mercer's "Inside the Legal Profession" series, a required part of the Mercer curriculum. These programs consist of hour-long interviews with distinguished members of the bench and bar, with the entire first-year class in attendance. More than one hundred lawyers and judges have participated in this program. With this book, Mercer School of Law seeks to expand the audience for these first-person stories of life in the law. We hope that aspiring lawyers, students at other schools, and practicing lawyers will all find lessons and inspiration in these pages. Presented here is a collection of eleven of the most memorable interviews in the series. In these pages, you will learn about what it is like to sit on the Supreme Court of Georgia and to preside as a trial judge on the federal and state courts. You will read about the challenges and rewards of representing indigent criminal defendants, Fortune 500 corporations, domestic violence victims, wrongfully-convicted inmates, and Guantanamo detainees. You will learn about prosecuting crimes and helping injured parties. Most importantly, you will discover in these pages the many paths to success and happiness in the law and that the undeniable challenges that come with life in the law can be met with success and joy.

Denial of Genocides in the Twenty-First Century
by
Throughout the twenty-first century, genocide denial has evolved and adapted with new strategies to augment and complement established modes of denial. In addition to outright negation, denial of genocide encompasses a range of techniques, including disputes over numbers, contestation of legal definitions, blaming the victim, and various modes of intimidation, such as threats of legal action. Arguably the most effective strategy, however, has been denial through the purposeful creation of misinformation.Denial of Genocides in the Twenty-First Century brings together leading scholars from across disciplines to add to the body of genocide scholarship that is challenged by denialist literature. By concentrating on factors such as the role of communications and news media, global and national social networks, the weaponization of information by authoritarian regimes and political parties, court cases in the United States and Europe, freedom of speech, and postmodernist thought, this volume discusses how genocide denial is becoming a fact of daily life in the twenty-first century.
