"In Injustice, Inc., Daniel L. Hatcher exposes how justice systems are harnessing America's history of racial and economic inequality into revenue-generating operations. Courts, prosecutors, probation, policing departments, and detention facilities are trading away ethics and justice to churn vulnerable children and adults into an unconstitutional factory enterprise. These justice institutions are entering contracts to make money removing children from their homes, monetizing harm from juvenile delinquency, child welfare and child support proceedings, extorting fines and fees, collaborating with private debt collectors, enforcing unpaid child labor, seizing property, incentivizing arrests and evictions, maximizing occupancy in detention and 'treatment' centers, and more. Hatcher details the disproportionately racialized harm and unconstitutionality of the injustice enterprise, and calls for opened eyes to our justice system failings--to walk a better path toward instilling truth into the words 'Equal Justice Under Law'"--
