About the Author

A leading voice in the discourse of criminal justice and race, Hines is often called on by media networks for legal commentary.
Reviews
"Debbie Hines knows a lot about criminal justice--the former trial attorney, Baltimore prosecutor, and Assistant Attorney General for the State of Maryland has had years to hone her experience in this arena. As a Black woman who became disillusioned by the current state of affairs, Hines was inspired to write a book, sharing her personal experiences and offering up 'a proactive approach for fixing our broken prosecutorial system.'"
--Essence

"A forceful plea to reform the toxic entanglement of prosecution, policing, and probation in the criminal justice system."
--Kirkus Reviews

"Hines, a former public prosecutor in Baltimore and now a private defense attorney, debuts with a scathing indictment of the criminal justice system...what makes Hines's account uniquely worthwhile is her detailed and intriguing behind-the-scenes analysis of how prosecutors operate. This passionate firsthand critique will appeal to those interested in criminal justice reform."
