This groundbreaking book exposes the racial injustices embedded in the U.S. criminal justice system, arguing that mass incarceration serves as a modern form of racial caste system, disproportionately targeting Black communities. Through meticulous research and powerful storytelling, the book traces the evolution of systemic discrimination from slavery to Jim Crow laws and into today's "War on Drugs." It challenges readers to confront the realities of racial bias in policing, sentencing, and prison policies, urging a fundamental shift in how society understands and addresses justice.
