Scandalous & Impertinent: A Lawyer's Journey Through the Backstairs of the Criminal Justice System
"With a blend of dark humor, raw honesty, and poignant reflections, the book offers a vivid portrayal of the people, places, and systemic flaws encountered in “the system” - especially when approached from the backstairs. This is not a prison redemption story but more of a commentary on the human spirit in the face of the vast travesties of the American Criminal Law System."
~ Jenny Bradley, Esq., author of My Journey Through Other People's Lives
A lawyer sucked into a Kafkaesque financial debacle is arrested, held without bail for over a year, pleads out, shuffles off to ten prisons in five states over four and a half years until he sues for release and is evicted from prison by emergency court order.
Two jails, eight prisons, five states, 30 cells, 7 dorms, 8 weeks in the hole, 1,682 days. Six fights (5-0-1), a dozen confrontations, thousands of jump-shots, four hundred students, tens of thousands of meals cooked, and hundreds of unsolicited clients – inmate and staff alike.
Scandalous & Impertinent is a journey into, through, and out of ‘the system’; an almost Pyrrhic court victory; and people.
