Download or read book Chicana Lives and Criminal Justice written by Juanita Díaz-Cotto and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first comprehensive study of Chicanas encountering the U.S. criminal justice system is set within the context of the international war on drugs as witnessed at street level in Chicana/o barrios. Chicana Lives and Criminal Justice uses oral history to chronicle the lives of twenty-four Chicana pintas (prisoners/former prisoners) repeatedly arrested and incarcerated for non-violent, low-level economic and drug-related crimes. It also provides the first documentation of the thirty-four-year history of Sybil Brand Institute, Los Angeles' former women's jail. In a time and place where drug war policies target people of color and their communities, drug-addicted Chicanas are caught up in an endless cycle of police abuse, arrest, and incarceration. They feel the impact of mandatory sentencing laws, failing social services and endemic poverty, violence, racism, and gender discrimination. The women in this book frankly discuss not only their jail experiences, but also their family histories, involvement with gangs, addiction to drugs, encounters with the juvenile and adult criminal justice systems, and their successful and unsuccessful attempts to recover from addiction and reconstitute fractured families. The Chicanas' stories underscore the amazing resilience and determination that have allowed many of the women to break the cycle of abuse. Díaz-Cotto also makes policy recommendations for those who come in contact with Chicanas/Latinas caught in the criminal justice system.

Book excerpt: “Highly enjoyable . . . A charming memoir that will amuse and inspire parents, teachers, and Shakespeare fans.” —Kirkus Reviews What happens when an idealist volunteers to introduce Shakespeare to a group of unruly kids? Bedlam. Tears. And hard lessons learned. Convinced that children can relate to Shakespeare's themes—power, revenge, love—Mel Ryane launches The Shakespeare Club at a Los Angeles public school. Teaching Will is a riotous cautionary tale of high hopes and goodwill crashing into the realities of classroom chaos. Every week, Mel encounters unexpected comedy and drama as she and the children struggle toward staging a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Woven through this fish-out-of-water tale is Mel’s own story of her childhood aspirations, her experiences in acting, and the heartbreaking end of her onstage career. In the schoolyard, Mel finds herself embroiled in jealousy and betrayal worthy of Shakespeare’s plots. Fits of laughter alternate with wiping noses as she and the kids discover a surprising truth: They need each other if they want to face an audience and triumph. Teaching Will is an uplifting story of empowerment for dreamers and realists alike. “Lively . . . Ryane manages both to be funny and not take herself too seriously.” —Publishers Weekly “I found myself moved to tears by one sentence and laughing out loud at the next.” —The Huffington Post

But this year he’s having no luck finding a counselor for the children—until Retta Palmer walks through his door. Nurturing and sweet, Retta is perfect for the position.

And Cade and Retta may just find that the best way to heal is with each other. Cowboy Honor Levi Jackson has always taken in strays—cats, dogs, bunnies, you name it—probably because, as an orphan, he often felt like a stray himself. So when Claire Mason and her niece end up stranded on the Longhorn Canyon ranch during a Texas blizzard, he doesn’t just rescue them, he offers Claire a job at the ranch until her SUV can be repaired. For the next few weeks, he loves feeling like part of a family. But when Claire’s brother returns will Levi be able to convince Claire her true home is with him? Cowboy Brave Though born and raised on a farm, Emily Baker has worked hard to distance herself from that rough-and-tumble life. But when the seniors at the nursing home where she works beg for a ranch retreat, she caves and heads up to the Longhorn Canyon spread. And one glance at sexy Justin Maguire has her thinking that playing cowgirl might not be so bad after all. But no matter how attracted she is to Justin, there’s no way, no how she’s falling for a cowboy.
