About the Author
Richard Stratton is a veteran journalist, author, and former prisoner whose life experiences have profoundly shaped his incisive writing on the intersections of law, culture, and personal freedom. Having served time in federal prison for marijuana smuggling in the 1970s, Stratton emerged as a compelling voice chronicling the human cost of America's War on Drugs. His work blends meticulous research with raw, firsthand narrative, offering readers a unflinching look at the criminal justice system's flaws and the resilience of those ensnared by it. Drawing from decades of reporting for outlets like High Times and Rolling Stone, Stratton continues to advocate for drug policy reform through his provocative prose, reminding us that behind every statistic is a story of survival and defiance.
