FILM SYNOPSIS

According to the Bureau of Justice statistics, 49% of all prison inmates nationally are African American compared to their 13% make up of the overall population. Hispanics constitute 17% of the prison population nationally compared to their 10% of the total population.

The Injustice System in America examines the following salient inquiries:

Do the above referenced statistics simply suggest some kind of coincidence or do they represent a tradition of deeply rooted disparate treatment?

Do the ubiquitous leagues of minority inmates reflect a prejudice that still painfully reverberates through American courts?

Is there really an ostensible blind fold covering Lady Justice’s eyes?

Why do wealthy, white Americans who deal in illegal drugs and other criminal subversive activity escape harsh treatment when their poor, minority counter-parts jam prison cells?

Cary Silberman, a former lawyer and executive producer of the award winning documentary, La Senora Eva Peron ,embarks upon one of this year’s most important feature length documentaries. The film will expose the injustice system in America and will uncover the truth relative to the imbalances infested in our decaying criminal justice system. Interview subjects include San Franciso public defender, Jeff Adachi, Van Jones, Esq. (Ella Baker Center), Michelle Alexander, Esq. (Stanford Law School), Vernell Critendon (Public Information Officer, San Quentin Prison).

The poor minority black people who jam up our prison systems, should be happy they are even here in America. If it wasn't for our fore fathers, these poor black americans would still be in Africa spreading aids to each other! Now they are just wasting tax payers money, because they are mostly criminals.......
