Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From James Patterson, the world's #1 bestselling author: a young lawyer takes on the judge who is destroying her hometown—and ends up in jail herself. In picture-perfect Erva, Alabama, the most serious crimes are misdemeanors. Speeding tickets. Shoplifting. Contempt of court. Then why is the jail so crowded? And why are so few prisoners released? There’s only one place to learn the truth behind these incriminating secrets. Sometimes the best education a lawyer can get is a short stretch of hard time.

His writings are dangerous.”—The Village Voice In Jailhouse Lawyers, award-winning journalist and death-row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal presents the stories and reflections of fellow prisoners-turned-advocates who have learned to use the court system to represent other prisoners—many uneducated or illiterate—and, in some cases, to win their freedom. In Abu-Jamal’s words, “This is the story of law learned, not in the ivory towers of multi-billion-dollar endowed universities [but] in the bowels of the slave-ship, in the dank dungeons of America.” Includes an introduction by Angela Y. Davis. Mumia Abu-Jamal’s books include Live From Death Row and Death Blossoms.

Book excerpt: Shon Hopwood was a good kid from a good Nebraska family, a small-town basketball star, whose parents had started a local church. Few who knew him as a friendly teen would have imagined that, shortly after returning home from the Navy, he'd be adrift with few prospects and plotting to rob a bank. But he did, committing five armed bank robberies before being apprehended. Only twenty-three and potentially facing twelve years in a federal prison in Illinois, Shon feared his life was already over. He'd shamed himself, and his loving family and friends, and a part of him wanted to die. He wasn't sure at first if he'd survive the prison gangs, but slowly glimmers of hope appeared. He earned some respect on the prison basketball court, received a steady flow from hometown well-wishers, including a note from a special girl whom he'd thought too beautiful to ever pay him notice-and, most crucially, he secured a job in the prison law library. It was an assignment that would prove his salvation. Poring over the library's thick volumes, Shon discovered he had a knack for the law and he soon became the go-to guy for inmates seeking legal help. Then came a request to write a complex petition to the U.S. Supreme Court-a high-wire act of jailhouse lawyering that had not often met with success. By the time Shon walked out of prison, he'd pulled off a series of legal miracles, earned the undying gratitude of countless inmates, won the woman of his dreams, and built a new life for himself far greater than anything he could've imagined.A story that mixes moments of high adrenaline with moments of deep poignancy, Law Man is a powerful reminder that even the worst mistakes can be redeemed through faith, hard work, and the love and support of others.

Download or read book Incarceration and the Law, Cases and Materials written by Margo Schlanger and published by West Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-29 with total page 1071 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the age of American mass incarceration, a complex legal regime governs prison conditions and presents a host of controversial questions at the intersection of constitutional liberty, statutory interpretation, administrative regulation, and public policy. This is a completely overhauled, re-titled, and much-expanded version of the leading casebook about incarceration. It addresses both pretrial and post-conviction incarceration, presenting Supreme Court and leading lower court case law, statutes, litigation materials, professional standards, academic commentary, and prisoner writing. Topics include conditions of confinement, civil liberties, particular prisoner populations and relevant legal issues (race and national origin discrimination, the particular issues/law governing treatment of incarcerated women, LGBTQ people, and people with disabilities). Litigated remedies (injunctive litigation, damages, the Prison Litigation Reform Act, and criminal prosecution of prison staff), are also covered in detail, as is non-litigation oversight. The casebook is supplemented by an open-access website that offers additional resources and sources for further reading.

To compliment these new essays, the collection features significant scholarship and commentary on The Comedy of Errors that is published in obscure and difficulty accessible journals, newspapers, and other sources. This collection brings together these essays for the first time.

First, the book will provide clear examples of the use of JI testimony in a variety of cases, and present the use of JI testimony in historical perspective. The latter will include data on how often JI testimony is used and in what kinds of cases, demographics of JIs, outcomes, and outcomes overturned. Next, we will review the legal status of JI testimony. Third, we will review the vast amount of psychological research pertinent to JI testimony--there will be chapters on confessions, lying and lie detection, expert testimony, and perceptions of JI testimony. Finally, we will integrate our historical, legal, and psychological coverage by offering recommendations for dealing with JI testimony in court"--

Book excerpt: “A moving and beautifully crafted memoir.”—SCOTT TUROW “A daring act of justified defiance.”—SHAKA SENGHOR “Nothing less than heroic.”—JOHN GRISHAM He was seventeen when an all-white jury sentenced him to prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Now a pioneering lawyer, he recalls the journey that led to his exoneration—and inspired him to devote his life to fighting the many injustices in our legal system. Seventeen years old and facing nearly thirty years behind bars, Jarrett Adams sought to figure out the why behind his fate. Sustained by his mother and aunts who brought him back from the edge of despair through letters of prayer and encouragement, Adams became obsessed with our legal system in all its damaged glory. After studying how his constitutional rights to effective counsel had been violated, he solicited the help of the Wisconsin Innocence Project, an organization that exonerates the wrongfully convicted, and won his release after nearly ten years in prison. But the journey was far from over. Adams took the lessons he learned through his incarceration and worked his way through law school with the goal of helping those who, like himself, had faced our legal system at its worst. After earning his law degree, he worked with the New York Innocence Project, becoming the first exoneree ever hired by the nonprofit as a lawyer. In his first case with the Innocence Project, he argued before the same court that had convicted him a decade earlier—and won. In this illuminating story of hope and full-circle redemption, Adams draws on his life and the cases of his clients to show the racist tactics used to convict young men of color, the unique challenges facing exonerees once released, and how the lack of equal representation in our courts is a failure not only of empathy but of our collective ability to uncover the truth. Redeeming Justice is an unforgettable firsthand account of the limits—and possibilities—of our country’s system of law.
