Book excerpt: An argument that Louisiana's criminal justice system, is a genocidal weapon that has historically targeted African American's in order to keep them marginalized and maintain white supremacy. Slave State is a collection of essays written by an innocent man convicted of murder and sentenced to serve out the balance of his natural life in the infamous Angola State Prison. The author is arrested in California in 1990 and transported to Louisiana where he finds himself in a surreal condition of confinement that resembles Louisiana as it existed in the early 1800's. Once he is placed back in slavery he learns that the political correctness and civility presented by whites in the U.S. is only an act. When he arrives at the Louisiana Penitentiary, he is met with a venomous racist system that most people assume died away years ago.
