This book is for anyone who is dealing with a drug case or who has a family member who is dealing with a drug case. The issue with these types of cases is that they appear to be somewhat simple, but they are not; they are very technical and when you dive into the issues, they become quite complex unless you are skilled in the issue of drug possession. This book is meant to give clarity for new clients and current clients, and to hopefully give them a greater understanding of the legal process when it comes to defending these types of cases.

Justice is a fickle bitch. If you're charged with a crime and you're either very rich or very well-known, you're going to walk out of court with a lower sentence than everyone else. Nowhere is this more true than in sentencing for sex crimes. Stanley G. Rothenberg is living proof of the injustice in sentencing for sex crimes. An openly-gay man subject to the prejudices that older men face in a youth-oriented society, Stan wandered into the free-for-all of internet chat rooms, looking for the worldwide web equivalent of phone sex. But the more time he spent talking dirty on the internet, the more jaded he became, and he realized what it was that really excited him -- hearing other people talk about depravities that they'd committed. Stan had no desire to engage in any of the actual activities -- if they were even true -- but listening to people talk about their own illegal fringe experiences turned him on. But what started as a freaky turn on turned into something much more serious -- a "pre-invented crime" that skirted the edges of entrapment while laying the groundwork for invoking the most serious sentencing upgrades available to a federal court. The conclusion? A life sentence for an elderly man who just wanted to talk dirty on the internet.

Many criminal cases are resolved out of court through what is known as plea bargaining. For practical reasons, the plea bargaining process resolves most criminal cases filed. John G. DeGirolamo, Esq. lives his career with a deep passion for seeing everyone has the opportunity for the best possible legal representation. That passion is more than evident in the pages of "Plea For Mercy: The Anatomy Of The Federal Plea." The book's pages are filled with the opportunity not only for laypersons to gain a deeper awareness, but attorneys on both sides of the aisle to recognize effective plea bargaining as both an art and a science. Plea for Mercy is a comprehensive, up-to-date guideline on the subject; teaching those in the profession to negotiate the best deal for their clients. The author provides an honest discussion of the nature, types and goals of plea bargaining, and offers a variety of styles and strategies not often taught. Words like analysis, negotiation process, plea policies, standards and rules are the foundation of DeGirolamo's extensive work.

The U.S. has become the world's leading jailer, housing 22.4% of the world's inmates, but has only 4.6% of its population. Myth: The staggering, budget-breaking price tag of this hyper-incarceration is justified by our low crime rates. Reality: Connecticut's prison population has soared from 3,800 to 17,000 since 1980, mostly with non-violent drug users. Annual spending on prisons now exceeds $1 billion at $51,000/year to house each inmate. Yet, hyper- incarceration has a negligible impact on public safety. Over 95% of Connecticut's prisoners are eventually released, most without adequate supervision, and ill-equipped to succeed on the outside. Well over half end up back in prison. We need to stop this revolving door. The state's failure to rehabilitate its offenders exacts an enormous cost on our state budget and a devastating human toll that is crippling our cities. The current system is not sustainable. The Justice Imperative: Reforms in states like Texas and Oregon demonstrate that Connecticut can slash costs, lower recidivism, increase public safety and create better and more productive lives for ex-offenders and their families.

Incarceration has a long and inglorious history, from dungeons in the bowels of castles to oppressive penal colonies in Australia. Karen Farrington brings this history up to the 21st century, exploring some of the world's worst prisons, from Alcatraz to Devil's Island, and the unending battles that rage between convicts and warders. Inside the prison walls, gangs rule, guards devise sadistic punishments and newcomers suffer abuse at the hands of experienced tormentors. The World's Worst Prisons is packed with shocking accounts of prison breakouts, drug smuggling and life on death row. It also explores the politics of incarceration, including the harsh labor camps of North Korea and controversies surrounding private management of prisons. With prison populations rising each year, questions surrounding incarceration are all the more pertinent. Whether focusing on punishment, containment or rehabilitation, the prison system is imperfect and The World's Worst Prisons examines this dysfunction through some of the most dangerous jails on earth.
