My Brother Moochie
Regaining Dignity in the Face of Crime, Poverty, and Racism in the American South
New York : Other Press, [2018]
Format: Book
Description: 288 pages ; 22 cm
A wide-ranging yet intensely intimate view of crime and incarceration in the United States, and the devastating effects they have on those who commit crimes, their loved ones, their victims, and society as a whole. It also offers hope for families caught in the incarceration trap: though the Bailey family's lows have included prison and bearing the responsibility for multiple deaths, their highs have included Harvard University, the White House, and a renewed sense of pride and understanding that presents a path forward.
