The following two quotes are from books written by Ann Coulter and John Grisham. I don't recall which books I found them in:
- Ann Coulter: "[The death penalty is]...'a primitive act of retribution'...What is primitive about being arraigned, formally charged, tried, convicted by a jury, having that conviction upheld on appeal, and then being executed in a manner far gentler than their victims?...('Okay, it will only sting for a minute, Mr. Bundy!')"
- John Grisham: "In white America, prisons are good places where bad men pay for their crimes. In black America, prisons are often used as warehouses to keep minorities off the streets."

On the inside of the front cover it reads: "What police officers tell their kids about the fifth amendment."
