About the book

Over the years, the War on Drugs has done almost nothing to prevent drugs from being sold or used, but it has nonetheless created a little-known surveillance state in America's most disadvantaged neighborhoods. The author introduces us to a cast of young African American men who are caught up in this web of warrants and surveillance.
