Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. A NEAR FINE, bright, clean, tight copy sans tears, stains, markings, and discoloration. Introduction by William Styron. 220 pages. "BE WARNED: If you read this book you will never think about the criminal justice system in the same way. You will be appalled-perhaps horrified-by the dirtiest secret of law enforcement. You will learn the full dimensions of a nationwide scandal: the process that subjects innocent persons, especially the poor and mentally impaired, to inquisitions that lead to life imprisonment or death sentences. If you can't imagine ever confessing to a crime you did not commit, this book will change your mind." GD12.
