Описание книги

Mumia's case continues to be of interest to the public as many criminal cases, like his, are successfully appealed due to: evidence tampering, biased juries, inept legal representation, DNA testing proving innocence, and other factors. Mumia is the world's most reknown political prisoner. A large committed audience exists, passionately interested in Mumia's case, his writings and work from prison. Destined to become a classic of prison literature.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Отрывок из книги

“Jailhouse Lawyers is a must-read for everyone connected in any fashion to the criminal justice system. It illuminates a dark area seen by few and outlines the legal battles still waged from the ‘hole’ by the semantic warriors who inhabit it. The book plumbs the depth of man’s inhumanity to man by exploring the ongoing legal attack by underground lawyers on an unfair legal system. Death-row prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal, an award-winning journalist, once again demonstrates his courage in opposing the oppression of prison existence.”
