  “This book can be both fascinating and deeply disturbing at the same time. It pokes so many holes in our criminal justice system, leaving the reader wondering what alternatives are there.
  
  Bogira does a good job of being as straightforward and unbiased as possible, which is what makes this book so intriguing. I did not feel like I was being forced to learn the author's opinion... he let the principle characters speak for themself.
  
  Most importantly, Bogira illustrates a criminal justice system that is based on the crime, rather than the person. ”
