<p>“High Fence Foodie: From The Big House To Your House,” has more than two hundred easy to prepare recipes for meals, soups, sides, snacks, dips, beverages, desserts, and holiday treats. The recipes can be made from basic items a prisoner can purchase from their commissary, or people on the outside can purchase from a convenience or grocery store. The recipes are written by Celeste Johnson, a woman imprisoned in Texas who loves to cook and experiment with new combinations of the simple food ingredients available to her. “High Fence Foodie” is a follow-up book to the more than 200 recipes in “From The Big House To Your House,” written by Celeste Johnson and five fellow prisoners at the Mountain View Unit, a woman’s prison in Gatesville, Texas. Celeste Johnson does not financially profit from sales of the book. All profits from the book's sale are donated to The Justice Institute to contribute to its work on behalf of wrongly convicted persons.</p>

<p>Expert evidence is a valuable prosecution technique used to link a person to a crime. However there is a dark side to this technique that can't be ignored: The use of expert evidence as a prosecution tool to falsely implicate an innocent person in a crime. Irregularities involving prosecution expert evidence have occurred since at least 1925 in the United States. Irregularities underlying prosecution expert evidence include substandard work; reliance on unreliable or compromised test procedures; and bias by slanting evidence reports and testimony to favor the prosecution. These practices affect criminal prosecutions in a way that has been known to be prejudicial to innumerable innocent men and women. Yet they are able to occur with impunity because labeling a testing process as scientific typically assures it of a near mystical reverence by judges, jurors and defense lawyers. The same is true of people designated as scientific experts: They are given a hallowed status as interpreters of what is considered to be "the unseen, the indecipherable, or the incomprehensible" to lay persons. Menace To The Innocent exposes that this situation undermines the credibility of the legal process, and proscribes no-nonsense solutions that will dramatically improve the reliability of prosecution expert evidence.</p>
