Roy Mitchell's Reviews > The Sing Sing Files: One Journalist, Six Innocent Men, and a Twenty-Year Fight for Justice

A whirlwind through NYC's psychotic policing as seen through a handful of innocent men who are kept in prison for decades despite authorities knowing they should be free. Dan manages some levity despite this being a depressing but much needed lens on the insane behaviour of a few powerful people who just absolutely cannot admit that they are in any way fallible. Don't expect justice because these lunatics are most definitely out there shouting nonsense and not seeing a single consequence.

Dan should get whatever counts as the highest possible honor for identifying and correctly labelling the "word salad" that comes out of every officials mouth when they caught red handed but are pathologically incapable of telling the truth. Every single time these apparatchiks spew out the human equivalent of an error code and Dan is able to capture it quite memorably. These people need to be studied in a lab.
