This book makes me look at how far the USA has come and think it's not nearly enough.

Just Mercy is a compelling account of injustices in the criminal justice system, including racial prejudice and harsh sentencing for children. It includes literal jaw dropping stories and facts that read like a thriller but are not able to be enjoyed due to being the horrifying truth. It contains surprises and events that are criminally unsurprising.
