The mission of Just Mercy is to peel back the curtain on corporal punishment and the culture of mass incarceration in America. An emphasis is placed on the rate at which America imprisons its’ citizens, especially the poor and African American populations, and the unforeseen consequences and costs of this mass incarceration. Stevenson shines an unapologetic light on the unfair, irresponsible, and biased prosecution of an impoverished population and the ripple effects this has on families, communities, and the American people.
