Justice Abandoned

In *Justice Abandoned*, Rachel Barkow argues that the Supreme Court has played a pivotal role in the rise of mass incarceration by disregarding constitutional limits on government power.

She highlights six critical Supreme Court decisions that facilitated pretrial detention, coercive plea bargaining, excessive sentencing, and racial discrimination.

The book offers a roadmap for change by advocating for the reversal of these precedents through originalist methodology.
