This book has been cited in judicial decisions and has been adopted in campus-wide and community-wide reads; in the United States, it helped inspire the creation of the Marshall Project and the new $100 million Art for Justice Fund; it has been the winner of numerous prizes, including the prestigious NAACP Image Award; and it has spent nearly 250 weeks on the New York Times best seller list.
