Books about Ex felons from Amazon.com

In fourteen states some or all former prisoners who have completed their sentences, their paroles, and the terms of their probation are prohibited from voting. This short book provides an overview of the history, nature, and consequences of denying ex-felons the right to vote. Readers learn of state practices, the arguments that have been used in court houses, legislatures, and the press to justify disenfranchisement, and the attempts to remedy the situation through recourse to state and federal governments. Elizabeth Hull enumerates the disproportionate effect of these policies on African-Americans and the ways current criminal justice practices cause those effects. The book contains an Appendix on the 2004 election..

5.4 million Americans--1 in every 40 voting age adults-- are denied the right to participate in democratic elections because of a past or current felony conviction In several American states, 1 in 4 black men cannot vote due to a felony conviction. In a country that prides itself on universal suffrage, how did the United States come to deny a voice to such a large percentage of its citizenry? What are the consequences of large-scale disenfranchisement--both for election outcomes, and for public policy more generally? Locked Out exposes one of the most important, yet little known, threats to the health of American democracy today. It reveals the centrality of racial factors in the origins of these laws, and their impact on politics today. Marshalling the first real empirical evidence on the issue to make a case for reform, the authors' path-breaking analysis will inform all future policy and political debates on the laws governing the political rights of criminals..

Silent shots exploded glass throughout Palm Beach County, Florida in the year of 1988. Was it for excitement or rage? For nearly nineteen years, the shootings and their aftermath resound throughout this wealthy county of heartless souls behind the walls of million-dollar estates and top-dollar cars. The author's accurately noted, acknowledged, and heroic narrative reads like an appalling novel of Hell, and yet it endures a complete documentation of NON-FICTION. The author provides a mastery written first-person report of his deplorable life destroyed by the vestige of peer pressure with extraneous twists and turns of a rampage vandalism case. It's an alluring story populated by a corridor of eccentrics: the ex-felon James Reid who is a cop for Palm Beach County School Police; Lori Bakyta the wife of James Reid who filed an injunction; the accuser Jill Reiter of Palm Beach Community College; the real nutty professor of Palm Beach Atlantic University; Bobby Wummer the cop who arrested the vandals; the innocent friend Bob Maria hit by a train; Detective O'Neill, the cop who failed to arrest the author; and the seducing wife of a Margate police sergeant. These and many other Palmbeachians act as an American circus, with the author revealing the association, belligerence, and schemes that thrive in a large county where everyone is envy of everyone else. Palm Beach County School Police Hired an Ex-Felon is an inspiring and inveigling reading experience. Highly educational and completely slander free, reading this enormously sincere portrait of the most snobbish county in the nation you'll fail to put this book down. Upon completion of this reading, the author promises you that you'll NEVER look at law enforcement the same way again..
