Book
Justice abandoned : how the Supreme Court ignored the Constitution and enabled mass incarceration / Rachel Elise Barkow.
"Since the 1960s, the Supreme Court has enabled mass incarceration through rulings that violate constitutional curbs on pretrial detention, coercive plea bargaining, excessive sentences, and other forms of state overreach. Detailing their flaws, Rachel Barkow argues that a Court committed to constitutional rights must overturn these precedents"-- Provided by publisher.
