The author, who writes under the pseudonym Afton, was arrested at the age of 19 for a nonviolent drug offense. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison, a draconian punishment that reflected the harsh realities of the American criminal justice system.

Afton's memoir is a powerful indictment of the injustices that plague our justice system. He writes about the overcrowding, the violence, the lack of basic necessities, and the dehumanizing treatment that inmates are subjected to on a daily basis. He also writes about the resilience of the human spirit, and the ways in which inmates find ways to survive and even thrive in the face of adversity.

Come to This Court and Cry is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the American prison system. It is a powerful and moving account of the human toll of mass incarceration.
