AXIOMATIC BOOKS
(The punishment Economy)
by MR. 1435 SPEAKS
Every case file is a person.
Every person is connected to a family.
And every family is forced to survive a system that profits from their suffering.
Broken on Purpose (The Punishment Economy) is a powerful examination of how American courts and prisons convert human vulnerability into institutional revenue. Through eighteen chapters of clear, uncompromising analysis, MR. 1435 SPEAKS reveals how the system criminalizes poverty, monetizes trauma, and traps entire communities in cycles of punishment.
This book is for the incarcerated, their loved ones, and the advocates who fight — not for recognition, but for survival. It is a mirror held up to a system that calls itself justice while operating as an industry.
Read it, and you will never see the justice system the same way again.
This book is a beacon shining into the crevices of the criminal justice system exposing the ugly truths about prison profiteering and slave labor as a commodity fueling economic growth thanks to the 13th amendment.
