This review is from: Federal Criminal Defendant's Handbook (Paperback)

Speaking as one who was prosecuted and sent away for a trumped up regulatory crime, I regret that I did not have access to Doug Hill's book during my traumatic experience. It would have made it somewhat more manageable, if not slightly easier. During one of life's most difficult times, there are few resources to draw on and those who have not been through it have no idea how horrible being prosecuted is. The system is broken, and over 2 million people are incarcerated in America, most for non-violent crimes. 25% of the worlds prison population is incarcerated in a country with less than 5% of the world's population. The more people understand about what's going on, the better chances are that we can restore sanity to America. This book provides a road map to those who get targeted. Very useful and important.
