An unflinching exposé of how the family, juvenile, and criminal
justice systems monetize the communities they purport to serve and trap
them in crushing poverty
Injustice, Inc. exposes the ways in which justice systems exploit
America's history of racial and economic inequality to generate revenue
on a massive scale. With searing legal analysis, Daniel L. Hatcher
uncovers how courts, prosecutors, police, probation departments, and
detention facilities are abandoning ethics to churn vulnerable children
and adults into unconstitutional factory-like operations.
Hatcher reveals stark details of revenue schemes and reflects on the
systemic racialized harm of the injustice enterprise. He details how
these corporatized institutions enter contracts to make money removing
children from their homes, extort fines and fees, collaborate with debt
collectors, seize property, incentivize arrests and evictions, enforce
unpaid child labor, maximize occupancy in detention and "treatment"
centers, and more. Injustice, Inc. underscores the need to unravel
these predatory operations, which have escaped public scrutiny for too
long.
