| Why Are So Many Black Men In Prison? A Comprehensive Account Of How And Why The Prison Industry Has Become A Predatory Entity In The Lives Of African-American Men by Full Surface Publishing Black men and prison |
| I was drawn to this book by the title alone, I have a son in the federal prison and sent him a copy as well, hope he reads it and passes it on to others in prison. I will use this book to try and defer youth from going into the criminal justice system. |
| Why Are So Many Black Men In Prison? A Comprehensive Account Of How And Why The Prison Industry Has Become A Predatory Entity In The Lives Of African-American Men by Full Surface Publishing Excellent. Straight from the horse's mouth! |
| Please read this book. Please tell others to read this book. Please talk about this book. While the injustice is larger than black americans, we more than anyone need to take notice of this and demand that things change. We should begin with politicians who profit from the enslavement of prisoners. |
| Why Are So Many Black Men In Prison? A Comprehensive Account Of How And Why The Prison Industry Has Become A Predatory Entity In The Lives Of African-American Men by Full Surface Publishing Are you serious? |
Haven't read the book, and won't. But I can tell you exactly what's written in it:
blah blah blah racism, blah blah blah, kept down by whitey, blah blah blah, fried chicken and watermelon.
With this title, it shouldn't be a book, it should be a sentence. |
| Why Are So Many Black Men In Prison? A Comprehensive Account Of How And Why The Prison Industry Has Become A Predatory Entity In The Lives Of African-American Men by Full Surface Publishing ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS BY A NEW BLACK AUTHOR |
| I absolutely loved this book. Cannot say too much more than that. The personal story of the author outlined in the first chapter just blew my mind away, and almost brought me to tears. So many of our young Black men have gone through the same thing as this author, but no one has ever written about that experience with such articulation and depth. This is definitely a first class exposition of our criminal justice system and how it works, as well as a reminder of what all is wrong within the African-American community. This book goes farther (and necessarily so) than Cosby's "Come On People" in breaking down these issues. A must read for all! |
| Why Are So Many Black Men In Prison? A Comprehensive Account Of How And Why The Prison Industry Has Become A Predatory Entity In The Lives Of African-American Men by Full Surface Publishing Wow, I feel so much better now. |
| Growing up in Compton, Inglewood, etc., I use to think that all the individuals around me who failed in class and cursed at teachers were responsible for their own delinquencies. But, thanks to this book, I see that it was the "white man" who did it to us. Now, granted, I always received good grades in class or I "got the switch", but I guess I was an anomaly; some would even say I was, "actin' white". Thanks brother, for letting all of us know how much of all of this is not our fault. Booooo for Cosby, and hurrahhhh for sharpton. |
| Why Are So Many Black Men In Prison? A Comprehensive Account Of How And Why The Prison Industry Has Become A Predatory Entity In The Lives Of African-American Men by Full Surface Publishing Product Description |
| African-American males are being imprisoned at an alarming and unprecedented rate. Out of the 10.4 million Black adult males in the U.S. population, nearly 1.5 million are in prisons and jails with another 3.5 million more on probation or parole or who have previously been on probation or parole. Black males make up nearly 75% of the total prison population, and due to either present or past incarceration is the most socially disenfranchised group of American citizens in the country today. This book details the author's personal story of a negligent upbringing in an impoverished community, his subsequent engagement in criminal activity (drug dealing), his incarceration, and his release from prison and experiencing of the crippling social disenfranchisement that comes with being an ex-felon. The author then relates his personal experiences and realizations to the seminal problems within the African-American community, federal government, and criminal justice system that cause his own experiences to be the same experiences of millions of other young Black men. |
