*UNLOCKED LIT REVIEW* To hear the whole back catalog of amazing #litreviews, sign up to become a lit review patron today! Trigger Warning: Mention of sexual assault, wrongful incarceration, gun violence & death row ⁠ .......⁠ On this lit review, Yvette sits down with Denise Rebeil of episode 8 and discusses Bryan Stevenson's "Just Mercy," a book that details his career representing folks on death row, children tried as adults, and wrongfully incarcerated individuals in the South. They relate to Stevenson's terror and unpreparedness as he is tasked with meeting someone on death row as a young law student, break down the super-predator myth and share how that idea led to an increase in children tried as adults, and reflect on the ways in which racist policing and incarceration affects whole communities of people of color.
