Two Justice Systems: Punishment for the Poor, Profit for the Powerful

The book highlights the stark disparities in the legal system, emphasizing how it disproportionately penalizes low-income individuals for minor infractions. It illustrates how fines and court costs perpetuate a cycle of debt, while wealthier individuals and corporations, such as private prisons, exploit the system. By exposing these systemic biases, the narrative advocates for necessary reforms to create a more equitable justice system that serves all members of society fairly.
