Review # 1 was written on 2019-12-02 00:00:00 David Ficocelli This book is an excellent collection of works with a wide range of voices. I wish some of the selected passages had been longer, but I think the point is to get you interested enough to dig into the authors and material more. In that regard, this has done its job exceptionally. You will not walk away from reading this feeling good. I ran the gamut of emotions from anger to sadness. Our prison and judicial system is messed up. Those caught up in the system are human beings that deserve their dignity and their voices to be heard. Please take the time and listen.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-08-23 00:00:00 Terry Paquette Overall excellent anthology. I don't understand why goodreads publishing info credits Tom Wicker,who wrote the foreword, and not H. Bruce Franklin, the editor. 60's generation leftist train spotters recognize Franklin as a co-founder of the Revolutionary Communist Party USA. He's matured, thankfully, into a thoughtful Marxist commentator on American popular culture and it's myths.
