JUSTICE FOR NONE How the Drug War Broke the Legal System

Several reporters at the WASHINGTON POST have filed insightful stories in recent years about the actual repercussions of drug trade suppression laws on the most disenfranchised members of civic life. The extreme prison sentences meted out to low-level illicit drug dealers and the prison conditions they experience form the thematic base of the collection. James Edward Thomas reads the reports with aplomb and without offering any auditory cues between the reporters' own words and the sources quoted. This is a basic introduction to some major flaws in the legal system that do indeed prevent it from purveying justice. F.M.R.G. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2017]
