The book "Living Injustice" is written by Chaz Coffman. It is a memoir about Coffman's experiences with injustice in the American legal system. Coffman discusses the many ways in which he has been wronged by the system, including entrapment, debt-based driver's license restrictions, and homelessness. He also shares his thoughts on how to reform the system. In the chapter "Entrapment," Coffman describes how he was pulled over by a police officer in McNairy County, Tennessee, and was told that his driver's license had been suspended but he was able to continue to drive until his court date. He was never given a written notice of the suspension, and he was unaware that he had any outstanding issues. Coffman was then arrested for driving on a suspended license days later in another county due to varying laws from county to county, a form of entrapment that plagues the Tennessee justice system still today. in another chapter "Justice Denied," Coffman discusses the impact of debt-based driver's license restrictions on people's lives. He argues that these restrictions are unfair and unconstitutional and that they disproportionately affect poor people. Coffman also discusses his own experience with debt-based driver's license restrictions, which led him to spend months in jail. The chapter "My Resolve," Coffman describes his determination to fight for justice. He has drafted several bills to reform the legal system and has also built a website to raise awareness of injustice. Coffman is a passionate advocate for change, believing that everyone deserves to be treated fairly under the law.
