Book Description
Centuries of foul play in the Department of Justice (DOJ) in this country, fortified through deceptive practices, has temporized the freedom of far too many innocent people with puritanical, senseless prison sentences. This reasoning is laced with a mythology rich in ideals that are spoon-fed to the American people by this country's political leaders-judges are infallible and neutral; the objective of all prosecutors is justice; public defenders serve the indigent, the poor, and the accused whose assets have been stolen by the government when they are arrested or raided; and anyone accused of a crime in this country is presumed innocent until proven guilty. "Sorry, Virginia, there is no Santa Claus." These are all myths employed by this government to perpetuate its business activities in the field of crime. Judges are opinionated with attitudes, and they conspicuously favor the government. The only objective of prosecutors is a conviction, and they will obtain it under any circumstances, just short of murder. Public defenders are an extension of the criminal justice system whose mission is constant-get the defendant to sign a plea agreement. The ministers of justice (those who appear in this writing) are not good people for the most part. Their power was wrongly used and did not follow justice; it preceded it. Hopefully, their exposure in the hastening of justice will finally lead them to the stepmother of misfortune. These ministers call themselves judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys-mere labels. Prisons should be for only the most serious federal crimes, not these fabricated acts prohibited by law this government creates for self-preservation. The DOJ's lies have become this country's heritage, are conveyed generationally, and have been accepted over time as status quo. We allow our legal caretakers to indict, convict, and sentence individuals under false pretenses. Plea agreements should be challenged as unconstitutional. The basic tenets of living in a free society are violated routinely when it comes to crime. While the government pretends to be interested in justice for the American people, it's nothing but a chicanery. This "public servant" has made a major business out of offenses against the law, and there seems to be no end in sight. It targets individuals and corporations gratuitously. This book brings to the forefront the sad truth of a deterioration of a criminal justice system that never was. These real experiences of pain and suffering against targeted innocent people is appalling, arousing aversion. There may be good judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys out there, but your chances of finding one are fifty-fifty. There exists the presumption that individuals are innocent until proven guilty. It's undoubted law, axiomatic and elementary. Its enforcement lies at the foundation of the administration of our criminal system. Somehow, though, this undoubted law of presumed innocence has been tossed to the wayside in the courts, though the government continues to teach it in the classrooms as it grooms our youths to join the "herd of sheep" called Americans. What once was elementary is now a complicated and convoluted field of law. America is the land of the free, after all. Does it really matter whether the DOJ bends the truth here and there to profit from crime? The DOJ keeps this prison house of nations filled through any way possible. Unfortunately, when the stench of this purported system of justice is traded for lies, the people's freedoms become diminished, never to return. The DOJ does as it pleases and keeps telling us how we are being protected by its unquestionable answers. Only when you personally get caught in this government radar will you realize the truth. Regrettably, by then, it will be too late. America's freedom, as guaranteed by the US Constitution, has been forfeited by a justice system more protective of its own power than its obligations to preserve the welfare of the populace. The Prison House of Nations-America exposes how this distorted system of justice operates, case by case, with facts. It illustrates how this mendacious interpretation of justice translates to loss for Americans-loss of life, loss of property, loss of freedom. The people suffer while this "public servant," created by the people, runs amok. The costs are staggering; the tail clearly wags the dog. Amidst this bleak revelation is a call to action. There's no blueprint to restore the DOJ to its intended role as an instrument to protect the people, for too much money is being made by those operating the system with beguilement and misdirection. About a hundred years ago, this government realized there is much more to get out of crime than simply chasing real criminals, and it has been proactive ever since. Be forewarned. The stories you are about to experience are all true, with real people so named. There remains no more places for these masked servants of justice to hide. These are stories of wrongly convicted and/or sentenced people. They were forced by this government to play this game with their very lives at stake, and they lost, hopefully only temporarily. Regrettably, at this moment in time, there is little hope for anyone entrapped in the government radar. This writing of collected anecdotes is intended to draw attention to crimes and prisons in this country, a subject matter the American public prefers to keep out of sight. Admittedly, the people can no longer afford to continue this demeanor. The author comes from the inside. He knows the system, he knows the law, and he can find flaws in any case. Prosecutors and judges make mistakes-first, because they employ misconduct when necessary to preserve a conviction and, second, because they are in a hurry, always in a hurry, which is when legal mistakes are made that lead to proper affirmative relief. Enjoy the read! Hopefully, when you finish, you will better appreciate the imminent danger of crime in this country-assuredly not because of the criminal action itself, but deplorably because of what follows. 1

Book Description
The Prison House of Alienation is an exploration of the humanist theme of alienation that Marx theorized in his Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844. It relates this theme of alienation with the themes of haunting in the Manifesto of the Communist Party and accumulation of capital that he outlined in his magnum opus Capital. The volume claims that humanity plagued by ghosts is dwelling in a prison house from which there seems no escape. Yet humanity seeks to escape from this prison house. The essays are a consequent journey in dramaturgy where science and art truly meet to create emancipatory politics that goes well beyond the entire discourse of twentieth-century socialism. The volume begins with Hamlet’s lament in Shakespeare’s tragedy, who, struck by alienation, is haunted by the ghost of his dead father. It then discusses how instead of creating a radical theory for creating a socialist alternative, ‘haunting’ gave way to interpretation as an estranged hermeneutical act that displaces revolutionary theory and praxis. This displacement of revolutionary praxis in turn gave way to violence. This volume therefore also analyzes violence from Clausewitz to Mao, revealing that a rigorous line must be drawn between Stalinism and Maoism on one side, and authentic Marxism on the other side. It concludes by questioning the very idea of ideology, suggesting that ideology is not merely a false consciousness, but a terrible psychotic act that would devour the entire emancipatory project of Marxism itself. Placing the human condition at the centre for alternative twenty-first-century politics, The Prison House of Alienation reveals that there can be no science without art and no politics without humanity. It will be of great interest to scholars of philosophy and politics. The essays were originally published in various issues of Critique: Journal of Socialist Theory.

Book Description
“Expert and well-reasoned commentary on the justice system . . . His writings are dangerous.”—The Village Voice In Jailhouse Lawyers, award-winning journalist and death-row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal presents the stories and reflections of fellow prisoners-turned-advocates who have learned to use the court system to represent other prisoners—many uneducated or illiterate—and, in some cases, to win their freedom. In Abu-Jamal’s words, “This is the story of law learned, not in the ivory towers of multi-billion-dollar endowed universities [but] in the bowels of the slave-ship, in the dank dungeons of America.” Includes an introduction by Angela Y. Davis. Mumia Abu-Jamal’s books include Live From Death Row and Death Blossoms.

Book Description
"Revolutionary love, revolutionary memory and revolutionary analysis are at work in every page written by Mumia Abu-Jamal ... His writings are a wake-up call. He is a voice from our prophetic tradition, speaking to us here, now, lovingly, urgently. Black man, old-school jazz man, freedom fighter, revolutionary--his presence, his voice, his words are the writing on the wall."--Cornel West, from the foreword From the first slave writings to contemporary hip hop, the canon of African American literature offers a powerful counter-narrative to dominant notions of American culture, history and politics. Resonant with voices of prophecy and resistance, the African American literary tradition runs deep with emancipatory currents that have had an indelible impact on the United States and the world. Mumia Abu-Jamal has been one of our most important contributors to this canon for decades, writing from the confines of the U.S. prison system to give voice to those most silenced by chronic racism, impoverishment and injustice. Writing on the Wall is a selection of more than 100 previously unpublished essays that deliver Mumia Abu-Jamal's essential perspectives on community, politics, power, and the possibilities of social change in the United States. From Rosa Parks to Edward Snowden, from the Trail of Tears to Ferguson, Missouri, Abu-Jamal addresses a sweeping range of contemporary and historical issues. Written mostly during his years of solitary confinement on Death Row, these essays are a testament to Abu-Jamal's often prescient insight, and his revolutionary perspective brims with hope, encouragement and profound faith in the possibility of redemption. "Greatness meets us in this book, and not just in Mumia's personal courage and character. It's in the writing. This is art with political power, challenging institutional injustice in the U.S. while catalyzing our understanding, memory and solidarities for liberation and love. Writing on the Wall can set the nation aflame--yes, for creating new possible worlds."--Mark Lewis Taylor, Professor of Theology and Culture, Princeton Theological Seminary Mumia Abu-Jamal is an award-winning journalist and author of two best-selling books, Live From Death Row and Death Blossoms. Johanna Fernández is a Fulbright Scholar and Professor of History at Baruch College in New York City. Cornel West is a scholar, philosopher, activist and author of over a dozen books including his bestseller, Race Matters. He appears frequently in the media, and has appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher, The Colbert Report, CNN and C-Span as well as Tavis Smiley.

Book Description
Hank Lacayo Best Labor Themed Book, International Latino Book Awards Best Book Award, Division of Critical Criminology and Social Justice, American Society of Criminology In the early twentieth century, the brutality of southern prisons became a national scandal. Prisoners toiled in grueling, violent conditions while housed in crude dormitories on what were effectively slave plantations. This system persisted until the 1940s when, led by Texas, southern states adopted northern prison design reforms. Texas presented the reforms to the public as modern, efficient, and disciplined. Inside prisons, however, the transition to penitentiary cells only made the endemic violence more secretive, intensifying the labor division that privileged some prisoners with the power to accelerate state-orchestrated brutality and the internal sex trade. Reformers' efforts had only made things worse--now it was up to the prisoners to fight for change. Drawing from three decades of legal documents compiled by prisoners, Robert T. Chase narrates the struggle to change prison from within. Prisoners forged an alliance with the NAACP to contest the constitutionality of Texas prisons. Behind bars, a prisoner coalition of Chicano Movement and Black Power organizations publicized their deplorable conditions as "slaves of the state" and initiated a prison-made civil rights revolution and labor protest movement. These insurgents won epochal legal victories that declared conditions in many southern prisons to be cruel and unusual--but their movement was overwhelmed by the increasing militarization of the prison system and empowerment of white supremacist gangs that, together, declared war on prison organizers. Told from the vantage point of the prisoners themselves, this book weaves together untold but devastatingly important truths from the histories of labor, civil rights, and politics in the United States as it narrates the transition from prison plantations of the past to the mass incarceration of today.

Book Description
The New York Times–bestselling conservative author explains why he believes certain social trends will lead to the downfall of the United States. America is disintegrating. The “one Nation under God, indivisible” of the Pledge of Allegiance is passing away. In a few decades, that America will be gone forever. In its place will arise a country unrecognizable to our parents. This is the thrust of Pat Buchanan’s Suicide of a Superpower, his most controversial and thought-provoking book to date. Buchanan traces the disintegration to three historic changes: America’s loss of her cradle faith, Christianity; the moral, social, and cultural collapse that have followed from that loss; and the slow death of the people who created and ruled the nation. And as our nation disintegrates, our government is failing in its fundamental duties, unable to defend our borders, balance our budgets, or win our wars. How Americans are killing the country they profess to love, and the fate that awaits us if we do not turn around, is what Suicide of a Superpower is all about. Praise for Suicide of a Superpower “Suicide of a Superpower traces the changes in governance and culture in America that foreshadow a decline of epic proportions. . . . Buchanan is no stranger to controversy. Nor is he prone to exaggerate. The crises he describes are real, and he is not afraid to say they ‘may prove too much for our democracy to cope with.’” —Jack Kenny, The New American Magazine “Progressives may recoil at these assertions as well as his positions on immigration, affirmative action and morality, though they may share his sentiments regarding war and America’s unnecessary military presence around the world. Not to disappoint his loyal followers, Buchanan reveals the essence of conservative thought and its origins with clarity and precision.” —Publishers Weekly
