How can you have a normal family life when one of your parents is considered to be "an enemy of the State," a Soviet term that is coming back in use by the Russian authorities full force and which is once again insinuating itself into the lives of many Russians? For two years, Olga Kravets followed the daily lives of four prisoners' families with young children: before, during and after a trial carried out for strictly political reasons. Their stories are a chronology of repression, intimately told through the daily routine of these families.

Americans are slowly waking up to the dire effects of racial profiling, police brutality, and mass incarceration, especially in disadvantaged neighborhoods and communities of color. The criminal courts are the crucial gateway between police action on the street and the processing of primarily black and Latino defendants into jails and prisons. And yet the courts, often portrayed as sacred, impartial institutions, have remained shrouded in secrecy, with the majority of Americans kept in the dark about how they function internally. Crook County bursts open the courthouse doors and enters the hallways, courtrooms, judges' chambers, and attorneys' offices to reveal a world of punishment determined by race, not offense. Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve spent ten years working in and investigating the largest criminal courthouse in the country, Chicago–Cook County, and based on over 1,000 hours of observation, she takes readers inside our so-called halls of justice to witness the types of everyday racial abuses that fester within the courts, often in plain sight. We watch white courtroom professionals classify and deliberate on the fates of mostly black and Latino defendants while racial abuse and due process violations are encouraged and even seen as justified. Judges fall asleep on the bench. Prosecutors hang out like frat boys in the judges' chambers while the fates of defendants hang in the balance. Public defenders make choices about which defendants they will try to "save" and which they will sacrifice. Sheriff's officers cruelly mock and abuse defendants' family members.

On May 30, the Extraordinary African Chambers in the Senegalese Courts sentenced Hissène Habré - the Chadian president from June 1982 to December 1990 - to life in prison for crimes against humanity, torture and war crimes. The verdict is a first in Africa, in many respects. Pronounced by African judges mandated by the African Union, and in large part financed by African countries, the sentence sends out a strong message against impunity on the African continent. But 26 years after the fall of Hissène Habré, and his subsequent flight to Senegal, how to make sense of this trial? How to appease the victims so long after the facts? How to recount a trial that took place 5,000 kilometres away?

Emmy nominated The State of Arizona captures the explosive emotions and complex realities behind Arizona’s headline-grabbing struggle with illegal immigration. From ground zero of the nation’s immigration debate, the film follows Arizona’s controversial “show me your papers” law through the stories of Arizonans on all sides of this divisive issue — from those who wrote it, to those who supported it, to those who dreaded its wrath. Frustrated with federal inaction and rising border tensions, Arizona lawmakers ignite a national maelstrom by introducing SB 1070. The tough law is designed to make life so harsh for unauthorized immigrants that they will “self-deport.” Supporters call SB 1070 a common sense law enforcement tool; opponents see it as a dangerous infringement of civil rights that would inevitably lead to harassment and racial profiling. The State of Arizona follows the battle over the law as it spills out to the streets, into the ballot box and goes all the way to the Supreme Court. By the makers of the award-winning Farmingville, The State of Arizona captures the latest chapter in the American experience in which Arizona’s clash over immigration galvanizes Latinos across the country to change the nation’s political landscape.

This book explores the effects of mass incarceration on poor neighborhoods and demonstrates that in high doses incarceration contributes to the very social problems it is intended to solve. It breaks up family and social networks; deprives siblings, spouses, and parents of emotional and financial support; and threatens the economic and political infrastructure of already struggling neighborhoods. Especially at risk are children who, research shows, are more likely to commit a crime if a father or brother has been to prison. It shows that when incarceration concentrates at high levels, crime rates in that place will go up. Removal, in other words, has exactly the opposite of its intended effect : it destabilizes the community, thus further reducing public safety
