A Ms. Magazine"Most Anticipated Feminist Books of 2026" PickGives voice to the Black women whose lives were devastated by the carceral system and sheds powerful light on its slavery-based roots to transform how we think about mass incarcerationHistorian Talitha L. LeFlouria centers Black women at the core of a fresh argument: that the system of mass incarceration was established as protection for the institution of slavery and the profits of enslavers and that this legacy continues today.For centuries, Black women in America have experienced extreme rates of arrest, conviction, and incarceration in the nations jails and prisons, yet their experiences have often been overlooked in favor of Black mens.Arguing that the merger between profit and punishment continues to keep Black people bound, LeFlouria traces the connection between enslavement and incarceration, revealing how they have always been intertwinedfrom the domestic slave trade of 1810-1865, when an estimated one million people were incarcerated in privately owned slave jails, to the post-Civil War era when Black people were enslaved through new systems of state-sponsored mass incarceration, and through to today.Using archival sources and personal testimonies, LeFlouria tells a new origin story of mass incarceration with the stories of numerous Black women throughout history, including:· Delia Garlic, who was incarcerated in a slave jail and later sold to a sheriff at the height of the domestic slave trade· Eliza Purdy, who was jailed and sold to the highest bidder a year after the Civil War ended, and· Susan Burton, who was commodified and trafficked through a 20th-century cell block, much like an enslaved person on the auction block 200 years prior.

Former Ohio Attorney General crusades against wrongful conviction and shows how citizens can prevent this terrifyingly common miscarriage of justice. Wrongful criminal conviction is much more frequent than most Americans believe. The thought of imprisoned innocent people haunted me. I became determined to try to do something about it. Jim Petro, Former Attorney General of Ohio The flaws in Americas execution of justice lead to an unacceptable number of wrongful criminal convictions. Jim Petro was confronted with this issue when the guilt of several convicts serving life sentences was called into question. In False Justice, Jim and Nancy Petro detail and challenge eight myths of justice: Everyone in prison claims innocence. The conviction of an innocent person is extremely rare. Only the guilty confess. Wrongful convictions are accidental and unintentional. Eyewitness testimony is the best evidence. Conviction errors get corrected on appeal. Questioning a conviction dishonors the victim. The pros will fix the justice system. Forensic science is trustworthy. Juries are prepared and qualified to decide cases fairly. Innocent people never plead guilty. Our system delivers fair and equal justice for all. False Justice corrects these common misunderstandings with an important truth: true justice requires constant vigilance and is the responsibility of every citizen.
