Tortured Justice

Police brutality and an unjust system have silenced incarcerated Black men from sharing their stories. Aaron Robinson, a young man born and raised in Flint, Michigan, was at age 18 charged with murdering a police officer. He awaited trial inside the very jail where the victim worked for over 30 years while he was subjected to, in his words, 27 months of torture at the hands of police. "I sat there fighting for my life and waiting to prove my innocence, while court-appointed lawyers sat back and watched it, and three changes of venue motions were denied by the corrupt court system who condoned the police brutality." In this intimate and candid memoir, Aaron describes his experience of those 27 months, as he lost everything but found his voice.
