Story4.5 out of 5 stars 20
Nearly every aspect of our criminal justice system encourages defendants-whether innocent or guilty-to take a plea deal. Punishment Without Trial showcases how plea bargaining has undermined justice at every turn and across socioeconomic and racial divides. It forces the hand of lawyers, judges, and defendants, turning our legal system into a ruthlessly efficient mass incarceration machine that is dogging our jails and punishing citizens.

loaded with information and things I never knew i didn't know. it got me thinking differently about the cash bail system something I didn't except. it actually gave me an entirely different prospect on the criminal and civil law system than I had going into this book.
