Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption
by Bryan Stevenson
If you haven’t read this already, you need to.
Initially, I thought this book was going to follow the injustice and immoral rulings in one death row case, exposing the major flaws of our justice system, but it went above and beyond that. It discusses race, poverty, mental illness, women prisoners and children prisoners. There were so many “are you kidding me, this is so illegal” moments in unfair trials of people from a variety of backgrounds. I knew our justice system was corrupt, but how common corruption and how recent opened my eyes in a whole new way.
Overall, this book was educational - it was honest and credible. It showed reality, but it also showed hope. In my opinion, every American needs to read this.
