Swift Justice: Leveling the Playing Field for America's Re-Entry Citizens

By Kim Patterson

Swift Justice: Leveling the Playing Field for Americas Re-entry Citizens is written to four distinct audiences. The first includes legally vulnerable individuals unfortunate enough to have experienced incarceration and that are now seeking to successfully re-enter the communities from which they originated. This first category of persons is the focus of this book. The second category includes other vulnerable populations, such as ethnic minorities, the poor, and the less-informed concerning the American Justice System and its culture. The third category includes persons of faith and those of good conscience, within positions of judicial or government influence, that can make a difference by using their voice to speak out against injustice. Finally, the fourth category includes law-breaking public servants and officials, within the Justice system, that engage in covert acts of corruption at the expense of re-entry, poor, and vulnerable people groups. Through this book, I hope to cause the reader to rethink the concept of Justice and, in so doing, move the societal thought-needle on the subject back to the middle: where Justice is, again, a two-edged sword that indiscriminately cuts both civilians and civil servants that break the law.
