After Just Mercy

Cover of Locking Up Our Own

Locking Up Our Own by James Forman Jr.

You devoured Just Mercy's unflinching look at wrongful convictions and systemic racism, feeling that cathartic outrage over poor black families shattered by corrupt policies. Now, Locking Up Our Own dives into black communities' own role in tough-on-crime laws, blending memoir intimacy with investigative grit to reveal urban despair and quiet heroism. It's the perfect follow-up for fueling your righteous indignation against mass incarceration without demanding you lift a finger.
