Garces & Grabler, P.C. sponsors book-signing

On June 4th, 2010 the Law Offices of Garces & Grabler was pleased to sponsor in the city of Trenton a book-signing by Stephanie R. Bush-Baskette, JD, PhD.  This round table discussion highlighted key points detailed in her recently published work Misguided Justice: The War on Drugs and Incarceration of Black Women.

The product of years of statistical research, Dr. Bush-Baskette discussed compelling data suggesting the vast divide in sentencing and parole allocations that exist between suburban and primarily minority communities in our urban environments.   This divide is a direct product of Federal and State of New Jersey statutes passed with the intention of appeasing political fervor, as opposed to being developed as a result of a practical, clinical view of incarceration and addiction.

Contributions towards this fascinating discussion were offered from attending academics, active political participants, parolees who have been through the system, and criminal defense attorney Jonathan Kessous of the Law Offices of Garces & Grabler.
