No matter how powerless those caught up in the web of the law may feel, there is a chance to regain agency, argues Butler. Through groundbreaking and sometimes controversial methods--jury nullification (voting \"not guilty\" in drug cases as a form of protest), just saying \"no\" when the police request your permission to search, and refusing to work inside the system as a snitch or a prosecutor--ordinary people can tip the system towards actual justice. \u003cem\u003eLet's Get Free\u003c\/em\u003e is an evocative, compelling look at the steps we can collectively take to reform our broken system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Butler, Paul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781595583291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.80w x 0.90d","brand":"Paul Butler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39697621090379,"sku":"9781595583291","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_fa68cfa6-7619-4a42-821b-6ad8b42cf35a.jpg?v=1646746775","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/lets-get-free-a-hip-hop-theory-of-justice-9781595583291","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
