You Might Go to Prison, Even Though You're Innocent

<b>Surviving prison as an innocent person is a surreal nightmare no one wants to think about. But it can happen to you. </b><br>  <br> Justin Brooks has spent his career freeing innocent people from prison. With <i>You Might Go to Prison, Even Though You're Innocent</i>, he offers up-close accounts of the cases he has fought, embedding them within a larger landscape of innocence claims and robust research on what we know about the causes of wrongful convictions.<br>  <br> Putting readers at the defense table, this book forces us to consider how any of us might be swept up in the system, whether we hired a bad lawyer, bear a slight resemblance to someone else in the world, or are not good with awkward silence. The stories of Brooks's cases and clients paint the picture of a broken justice system, one where innocence is no protection from incarceration or even the death penalty. Simultaneously relatable and disturbing, <i>You Might Go to Prison, Even Though You're Innocent </i>is essential reading for anyone who wants to better understand how injustice is served by our system.
