Originally published in 1952, in an expurgated version, as ‘Cast the First Stone’, this unsparing, intense yet affirming novel draws on Chester Himes’ own life – including his youthful imprisonment, his path to writing and his experience of the devastating Ohio Penitentiary fire in 1930. ‘Yesterday Will Make You Cry’ faces down the scouring truths of harm and love, and demonstrates the astonishing lyric range of Himes’ prose.
Art Heist is a gallery of the most famous stolen artworks that have never been recovered and an examination of the heists and their subsequent investigations.
British prisoners have to endure the most inhumane and barbaric conditions imaginable, so why do so many of them keep going back? Former inmate and documentary maker Chris Atkins has spent the last six years tracking the fortunes of a dozen repeat offenders to understand why the state fails to keep them out of trouble. Featuring funny, wild and poignant stories, ‘Time After Time’ exploits Chris’s unprecedented access to the criminal underworld to understand why the system actually makes reoffending all but inevitable for ex prisoners.
First collection of writings from one of the foremost contemporary critical thinkers on racism, geography and incarceration.
The US has the highest rate of incarceration in the world. One in every 15 people born there today is expected to go to prison. For black men this figure rises to 1 in 3. And Death Row is disproportionately black, too. Bryan Stevenson grew up poor in the racially segregated South. His innate sense of justice made him a brilliant young lawyer, and one of his first defendants was Walter McMillian, a black man sentenced to die for the murder of a white woman – a crime he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, startling racial inequality, and legal brinksmanship – and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever. At once an unforgettable account of an idealistic lawyer’s coming of age and a moving portrait of the lives of those he has defended, ‘Just Mercy’ is an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of justice.
