Infectious Injustice

The True Story of Survival and Loss Against Corruption, the Covid-19 Disaster Inside of San Quentin, and the Dumpster Fire That Is Known as Mass Incarceration

By: Justin Cook

Narrated by: Matt Michael

A secret preview into the treacherous journey of a man thrown from a successful life in Silicon Valley into the dark asphyxiating prison of San Quentin, with murders, serial killers, rats, and COVID around every corner. This true story is told by an inmate who was inside, living and breathing in the system of incarceration for nearly two years. He paints a masterpiece of detail by challenging the stigma that prisoners are less than people, that law enforcement is superior, and that the system of incarceration in the United States is still functioning. You will join him in the cell while he recounts hunger strikes, malnutrition, panic, and pandemonium, by weaving comedic banter with a stoic sense of realism.

This is a captivating tale of how sick and dying men, caused by the nationally publicized disaster of thirty deaths in a short period in the prison, stitched together the remnants of their shattered dignity and formed a brotherhood to withstand all odds; it paints the solo journey of a man's struggle through addiction, loss, corruption, oppression, racism, and fear. You won't stop listening to this enthralling and uttering engrossing saga of survival, a triumphant testament to the endurance of the human spirit, loyalty, respect, and the fallacy of rehabilitation while incarcerated.

Something that I loved and can't wait to share

I read this book as part of my bookclub and I can say honestly say its my favorit thing I read this year. 5 out of 5 for sure.

COOK PACKED A PUNCH WITH THIS AWE-INSPIRING NOVEL

FANTASTIC BOOK! What else can be said? If you are looking for a true story that moves mountains and threatens a corrupt institution, then this is your book. I listened to this while working out, and couldn't stop once I got home. I finished it in record time. His voice carries so much weight but you can't help but feel yourself in his words. This should be taught in classrooms at universities.

Cook did a wonderful job with this one. The novel really shows us the daily struggle of being in prison, and the injustice tied to our system in America now. Loved it.

Loved every second of it

Quite enjoyed this audiobook. Listened to it on a recent trip. Cook has a repose that I enjoy, he finds the funny even in the awful. Highly recommended.

Monumentally Moving Audiobook

This was my favorite audiobook of the summer that I’ve found. Cook does a magnificent job of making us all feel like we are there with him. He creates a sense of realism by tracking what happened each day. I adored this book and can’t wait to listen to his next one.

Moving Novel - Worth the Wait for the Audiobook

I LOVED the part where Cook was in reception, this was one of my favorite books I have listened to in a while. I had a ex wife who was cruel like this to me. I hope he gets his kids back soon! I HIGHLY recommend this book.

Wonderful Powerful Book

Cook did an breathtakingly stellar job at extracting the message from a corrupt system that I also have personally seen rip apart families. I hope that in the end he finds peace. This book is highly recommended from me.
