Tony Platt

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

The contemporary American criminal justice system imprisons more people than any other country in the world. Notorious for its brutal police tactics and unashamed of the astonishing cruelty of its prisons, it regularly turns a blind eye to the institutionalized racism on display 24/7. How did a nation supposedly built on the rule of law get to this, and what can be done about it? Tony Platt’s groundbreaking book, Beyond These Walls (St. Martin’s), considers how the current broken system can be fixed and offers a bold plan for structural reforms that would guarantee justice for all.
