Let's Get Free

Let's Get Free gives an insider's view of the lock-'em-up culture that makes every American worse off. We've reached the tipping point-so many people are in prison, especially for nonviolent drug offenses, that incarceration now causes more crime than it prevents. Butler offers innovative methods for citizens to resist complicity and stand up for their rights. He introduces the concept of jury nullification-voting "not guilty" on principle-as a powerful way to protest unfair laws. Butler's groundbreaking "hip hop theory of justice" reveals a profound analysis of crime and punishment found in popular culture. Let's Get Free offers a positive new vision of justice and legal reform.
