Pfaff begins by examining the history of the criminal justice system in the United States. He shows how the system was designed from the outset to control and punish the poor, the black, and the marginalized. This legacy of discrimination continues to shape the system today, as Pfaff demonstrates through a wealth of data and case studies.

One of the most disturbing findings of Pfaff's research is the extent to which wrongful convictions are occurring in the United States. He shows that innocent people are being sent to prison at an alarming rate, often for crimes they did not commit. This is due in part to the fact that the system is often more concerned with securing convictions than with finding the truth.

Pfaff also exposes the hidden biases that lead to excessive sentences. He shows that black men are more likely to be sentenced to prison than white men for the same crimes, and that they receive longer sentences on average. This disparity is not due to differences in criminal behavior, but rather to the fact that the criminal justice system is biased against black people.

The result of these biases is mass incarceration. The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with over 2 million people behind bars. This is a staggering number, and it has had a devastating impact on our communities. Mass incarceration has led to the breakup of families, the loss of jobs, and the creation of a permanent underclass.

Pfaff concludes by calling for a fundamental transformation of the criminal justice system. He argues that we need to end mass incarceration, reduce racial disparities, and ensure that everyone has access to a fair trial. These are ambitious goals, but they are necessary if we want to create a more just and equitable society.

Justice Denied is a powerful and important book. It is a must-read for anyone who cares about justice and the future of our country.
