They had the power to protect. They used it to protect power. The Legal Racket: Maine's Criminal Administration is Justin A. Tahai's furious, darkly comic examination of the institutions surrounding family conflict-and of the money, authority, procedure, and professional protection that can keep that conflict alive. Across thirty chapters, the book follows an alleged collective racket from failures to protect and coercive enforcement through attorney billing, government funding, contested records, oversight, and constitutional accountability. The Laundromat, The Billable Hostage Crisis, The Digital Dungeon, and Adequate Provocation turn institutional language back on the machinery that uses it. Book One of TREASONOUS COWARDS. Contains strong language, political criticism, and dark satire.
