Lawrence and Luanne Bruckner live in Thomson, daily watching the $142M concrete complex sit empty-waiting silently for the 1800 prisoners and 761 correctional officers the State of Illinois promised to the depressed area in 1999. Lawrence is a graduate of Trinity college (CT) earning a BA, and MA in three years. He added a JD degree from the College of William and Mary and practiced law for thirty years He also served fourteen years in the Army Reserves as a JAG officer. Luanne is a tax expert who traces her heritage to the Mayflower and belongs to many hereditary organizations including the Daughters of the American Revolution. It was her inbred sense of justice and love of the unique American dream of Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness that spurred Lawrence to compile this story on human waste. A life is a terrible thing to waste. This work will be followed by a study on wasting youth in schools designed to serve the adults and a third project will examine waste in the complex transportation system run by cities, villages, counties, states, federal toll-ways. etc. A final study will tackle the welfare system that destroys the human, spirit of hope, creating the worse prisons, a living hell on earth.

In America, 2.3 million people-a population about the size of Houston's, the country's fourth-largest city-live behind bars. Sick Justice explores the economic, social, and political forces that hijacked the criminal justice system to create this bizarre situation. Presenting frightening true stories of (sometimes wrongfully) incarcerated individuals, Ivan G. Goldman exposes the inept bureaucracies of America's prisons and shows the real reasons that disproportionate numbers of minorities, the poor, and the mentally ill end up there. Goldman dissects the widespread phenomenon of jailing for profit, the outsized power of prison guards' unions, California's exceptionally rigid three-strikes law, the ineffective and never-ending war on drugs, the closing of mental health institutions across the country, and other blunders and avaricious practices that have brought us to this point. Sick Justice tells a big, gripping story that's long overdue. By illuminating the system's brutality and greed and the prisoners' gratuitous suffering, the book aims to be a catalyst for reform, complementing the work of the Innocence Project and mirroring the effects of Michael Harrington's The Other America: Poverty in the United States (1962), which became the driving force behind the war on poverty.

Welcome to Ft. Gordon, Ga - the Special Training Unit. It's 1967, the height of the Vietnam War and Private Winslow Gibbs has been drafted. He's two-hundred and seventy pounds and a bundle of nerves. He also has issues of a different nature, but in these days before the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, these are dealt with in the American Gulag, the Army's answer to the problem. What they don't count on are the ones like Private Gibbs, who want to survive it and serve. Based on the author's own experiences, Surviving an American Gulag is a story that the military would prefer remain a footnote. However, it is a defining moment and should not be lost to posterity. Also included with this work is "A Dime a Dip," a tale of the author's grandmother and her considerable efforts on behalf of thousands of migrant worker children.
