About this listen
From James Patterson, the world's number one best-selling author: A young lawyer takes on the judge who is destroying her hometown - and ends up in jail herself.
In picture-perfect Erva, Alabama, the most serious crimes are misdemeanors. Speeding tickets. Shoplifting. Contempt of court.
Then why is the jail so crowded? And why are so few prisoners released? There’s only one place to learn the truth behind these incriminating secrets.
Sometimes the best education a lawyer can get is a short stretch of hard time.
©2021 James Patterson and Nancy Allen (P)2021 Grand Central PublishingWhat the critics say
“I couldn’t put down The Jailhouse Lawyer, a page-turning legal thriller that exposes a headline-making crisis in the American courts: the new debtors’ prisons, where an inability to pay court costs sentences poor people to jail, with devastating consequences.” (Tony Messenger, Pulitzer Prize winning columnist, author of Profit and Punishment: How America Criminalizes the Poor in the Name of Justice)

This was a worthwhile listen for sure. Great plot, story. Characters aren't quite as rich but still really enjoyed it.

Book 1 is terrible book 2 is terrific.
Rating the first book:
The Jailhouse Lawyer:
Shameful, this purports to be a courtroom drama, Even Grisham’s worst novels are better than this one. No depth No development of characters, Unbelievable storyline and no climax I didn’t even realize the book had ended!!
Rating Book 2:
Power of attorney much better enjoyed from start to finish good story and Clever ending.
