Michelle Alexander Quotes
The Critical Point Is That Thousands Of People Are Swept Into The Criminal Justice System Every Year Pursuant To The Drug War Without Much Regard For Their Guilt Or Innocence. The Police Are Allowed By The Courts To Conduct Fishing Expeditions For Drugs On The Streets And Freeways Based On Nothing More Than A Hunch...and Once Inside The System, People Are Often Denied Attorneys Or Meaningful Representation And Pressured Into Plea Bargains By The Threat Of Unbelievably Harsh Sentences - Sentences For Minor Drug Crimes That Are Higher Than Many Countries Impose On Convicted Murderers. This Is The Way The Roundup Works, And It Works This Way In Virtually Every Major City In The United States.
