This book explores the radicalized criminal injustice among minorities related to incarceration in the U.S., on sentencing and correctional practices. Because of the absolute control slavery allows, slavery was in the past, and is now a most desirable system that’s hidden within the criminal justice system.
America’s Criminal Injustice is compelling, and outlines the criminal justice system's propensity for violating human rights in an institutionalized setting. For a better understanding of what’s happening in today’s society one must look at the past. To bring into focus, a problem that appears to go unnoticed, or is simply ignored.
Thomas Jefferson stated in the Declaration of Independence that:"All men are created equal:" however, all men are not treated equal as is related to race, social status, and economics within the Criminal Justice System.

About the Author: |
|
In July 1998, God‘s plan and purpose for my life began to be revealed. To work within the ex-offender community. I didn’t understand why I had been chosen for this ministry. I didn’t know anything about prisons or ex-offenders, and consequently had about the same perception of them as most people do. I had no desire to work with this segment of the population, though I was continuously being prepared. I was lead to do research to gain the knowledge I would need to be effective. A love and passion was then developing into what I knew God had called me to do.
In 2004 I founded and incorporated, Preparing A Way, Inc. [along with co-founders Minister Shirley Cole and Pat Tamayo] A non profit organization with a mission to: advocate for the rights, and fair treatment of the ex-offender community.

America’s Criminal Injustice is compelling, and outlines the criminal justice system's propensity for violating human rights in an institutionalized setting. People of color are treated more harshly in the criminal justice system than are their white counterparts. This book will explore the radicalized criminal injustice among minorities related to incarceration in the U.S., on sentencing and correctional practices, at both the federal and state level, with disproportionate sentencing; and the excessive use of minimum mandatory sentencing: with the interconnections between incarceration and racism. Evidence will show that there are more monitories in prison, jail or on probation compared to their white counterparts. Which leaves this question to be asked, are African Americans committing more crimes?, or are they just caught more often because the police target them, and are profiled more in the media associating people of color with crime?
