From Successful Attorney to Inmate...A Story of Redemption and Transformation On a beautiful fall day in 2018, Andreea Parc found herself in handcuffs and shackles tied together around her waist with a thick chain and lock, being escorted from a courthouse by Federal Marshals to Metropolitan Correction Center (MCC). The one where El Chapo was being held and the one where Jeffery Epstein committed suicide. This was not her first time there. MCC was the very first prison she ever entered, but that time she arrived at its intimidating doors as an attorney when she went to see a client who was detained there. It was traumatizing. The sounds of the locked metal doors, the wired/fenced up elevators, the darkness, the indescribable repugnant smell, the cold, the restrictions, the scary and intimidating guards. She was more afraid of the guards than the inmates. She was so uncomfortable that she could not wait to get out of the building as fast as she could. But this time, there was no leaving the building. This was the start of her nearly three years of incarceration but also the start of her journey to redemption. It is a tale of transformation, resilience, and the profound power of learning from our mistakes. It's also a story of her fellow inmates, who helped her know herself and understand human nature, who fed and loved her unconditionally throughout this ordeal. They helped her see the real beauty of life, the strength of human nature, and the soul connection we all share.

"In 1989, Ben Spencer was convicted of murdering businessman Jeffrey Young-a crime he didn't commit. Spencer to spent more than half his life in prison until independent investigators, the foreman of the jury that convicted him, and a new district attorney convinced a judge that Spencer had nothing to do with the killing. He was released from prison in 2022. Journalist Barbara Bradley Hagerty spent years immersed in Spencer's case. She combed police files and court records, interviewed dozens of witnesses, and had extensive conversations with Spencer. In Bringing Ben Home, she weaves together two narratives: how an innocent Black man got caught up in and couldn't escape a legal system that refused to admit its mistakes; and what Texas and other states are doing to address wrongful convictions to make the legal process more equitable for everyone"--

In our pursuit of efficiency in the lower criminal courts, have we lost sight of quality justice? Through the critical examination of original stenographic data, this book demonstrates how an English Magistrates' courthouse often pursued managerial efficiency to the detriment of social justice and procedural due process values. Given that these courts process more than 95% of all criminal cases, this 'over-efficiency' problem has the capacity to cause significant social harm. Yates' work concludes by providing socio-legal and criminological readers with ways to fix this over-efficiency problem. This accessible work is of value to policy makers and post-graduate students alike.
