Michael B Jordan Will Star In "JUST MERCY" |
This is fictional book takes you inside the system that destroyed Sandra Bland, Kalief Browder, and Natasha McKenna. The book helps you experience what it's like to be inside a system where the erroneous accusation of stealing a backpack at 16 (Kalief Browder) can put you in jail; solitary confinement to protect you from guards and prisoners beating you up; and then a suicidal frame of mind.
And now a movie is being made of the book.
"The author of the best selling book, Bryan Stevenson, is an attorney with the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama, an organization that offers free legal services to the poor.Presumptions of guilt, poverty, racial bias, and a host of other social, structural, and political dynamics have created a system that is defined by error, a system in which thousands of innocent people now suffer in prison."
