Stevenson animates these harrowing statistics with stories from his years as a criminal defense lawyer, personalizing the political through a powerful series of cases. The War on Drugs and “Tough on Crime” policing policies disproportionately target juveniles, women, people of color, the poor, and individuals with mental health issues, all too often the victims of inflated sentences and wrongful convictions resulting in the death penalty. Of those incarcerated, 58 percent identify as Black or Hispanic. prison population increased from 300,000 to 2,300,000 – the highest incarceration rate in the world.
