UnFair: The New Science of Criminal Injustice by Ben Forado

This book was a tough read. I had never really considered the intricacies of the criminal justice system before and was astonished has to how it has gotten so corrupt. I feel like I can never trust the criminal justice system again. The stories were shocking, especially the anecdote on still being condemned after DNA evidence exonerates a person. And, all because they were coerced into admission of guilt when first interrogated. 

That being said, the book was an easy read, in the sense that it was set out in a logical manner. The topic was interesting and engaging. This is a must read for anyone and everyone. I can see myself rereading this book in the future, and I have definitely recommended it to friends. For this reason, I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
