A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

International bestseller "Justice Restored," by veteran author and journalist, Howell Woltz, ("Justice Denied", "The Way Back to America", "The Path" and "Gulag Amerika") is his most explosive exposé to date of America's failed judicial system. Woltz proves in this highly readable exposé that U.S. prosecutors knowingly (or uncaringly) "get it wrong" in 8 out of every 10 cases they bring before U.S. courts. After speaking out on this issue publicly, (TEDx talk in 2014), Woltz was threatened by U.S. officials in an effort to silence him. This ultimately led to his leaving the country to continue his work (Woltz now lives in Poland), though his facts have been acknowledged true by reviewing state and federal courts. 5,760 capital cases--almost every such case over a 23 year period--has now been reviewed by state and federal courts and 73% of them were proven to have "reversible error", while 9% of the defendants were proven by the record itself to have been innocent when targeted by the prosecutor. (see, A BROKEN SYSTEM: ERROR RATES IN CAPITAL CASES, Prof. James S. Liebman, Columbia University). After indisputably proving the need for reform in the early pages of Justice Restore, Woltz then lays out a 10 step plan to restore our system of justice to what it once was. These steps back to Rule of Law are each buttressed by a heartbreaking personal story of a wrongfully convicted citizen the author personally assisted in seeking justice. "Justice Restored: 10 steps to end mass incarceration in America" has been endorsed by The Center for Teaching the Rule of Law, and is considered a must read for every U.S. citizen. As admitted by the federal government, "The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that 71 million people--approximately 25 percent of the American population--have a criminal record." (BNA Criminal Law Reporter, May of 2010). With only 5% of the world's population, the United States holds 25% of its prisoners--a record for human history. No nation has ever incarcerated so many of its own citizens. Woltz has given a clear roadmap for ending this national disaster in "Justice Restored"and in an interview on Public Radio, he recently stated, "If anyone had told me 30 years ago that I could write a book on the unlikely topic of 'mass incarceration in America'--or that it would become a best-seller--I would have never believed it. 1/4 of the American population, however, has now suffered these injustices personally--as well as their families--and they are the ones who have made 'Justice Restored' an international bestseller."

Biographie de l'auteur

Howell Woltz was born in the United States in 1953. He attended the University of Virginia where he earned a B.A. in Economics with further studies at Wake Forest University School of Business' MBA program and Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland. Howell began speaking out about the pending loss of constitutional freedoms in America on September 15, 1977, and has been a journalist and public speaker on these issues spanning 40 years. Through radio, film (2014’s acclaimed docu-short on Howell's book, 'Justice Denied') and public speeches such as a 2014 TEDx Talk, Howell continues to inform and enlighten the public on the need for judicial reform in America.  He has now published four books on his journey and findings; Justice Denied: The United States vs. the People (upon which his award-winning film was based); The Way Back to America: A 10 Step Plan to Restore the United States to Constitutional Government; The Path: A Spiritual Guide for the Fifth Age; and Justice Restored: 10 Steps to End Mass Incarceration in America. Threats by the U.S. government turned violent in the summer of 2015, and Howell fled to the former Soviet bloc nation of Poland to remain free and continue his work.  He is happily married to Dr. Magdalena Iwaniec-Woltz. His new best-seller, Justice Restored , is the roadmap to successful criminal justice reform in America.
