In the American criminal justice system thousands of men and women who have broken no laws have been put away and forgotten. Many of these inmates are talented individuals who have contributed much to society. Doctors, artists, professors, businessmen, philanthropists, musicians, attorneys, and people of many other professions, have been wrongly accused and convicted. These men and women ran businesses, employed workers, paid taxes, provided health insurance and retirement plans for many, and now all their good work, and the work they had been hoping to do in the future is for nothing.

In the American criminal justice system thousands of men and women who have broken no laws have been put away and forgotten. Many of these inmates are talented individuals who have contributed much to society. Doctors, artists, professors, businessmen, philanthropists, musicians, attorneys, and people of many other professions, have been wrongly accused and convicted. These men and women ran businesses, employed workers, paid taxes, provided health insurance and retirement plans for many, and now all their good work, and the work they had been hoping to do in the future is for nothing. Wasted! Patrick Mansell spent four years in federal prison interviewing scores of these individuals. Some had stories that were so compelling that he simply had to memorialize them. He chose these twelve particular stories because he felt that each inmate was credible, and the handling of their cases by the U.S. Justice Department was so amazingly unfair, even dishonest and criminal in itself. There has never been a book like this one where the author actually lived among the victims and got to know them so well. Some of the characters were close friends of his for his entire time of incarceration. The stories are riveting, and the injustice is grotesque.
