According to the book description of
A Boy Who Mattered: Examining
the Roots of Drug Addiction
"author Marshall Frank brings
the reader into the pathetic life
of his firstborn son, Bennett, who
began using drugs before his teens,
turned on by a family member who
thought nothing was wrong. Such an
act opened the door to a life of
dependency, sickness, failure, and
homelessness that affected many
others in his circle of friends and
relatives for over forty years.
Sadly, it is typical of the
multi-thousands of users who give
up on life for the temporary
pleasures that drugs provide. It is
a common story, from coast to
coast, that America sadly ignores
until crimes are committed. This
particular story emphasizes the
root causes of drug dependency,
society’s role, family issues,
ignorance, and what can be done
about it. Ever the police
investigator, Frank also draws the
reader into the social and legal
risks and the subliminal lures that
introduce new users to the demons,
from which it is so difficult to
sever. People who struggle with
addicted loved ones will find
helpful resources and information
about how to fight this dreaded
disease. This book will hopefully
expose facts, teach and assist
people who are in need of help. If
only one human being is saved,
Bennett’s life will have not been
in vain."

the dark hole so you can see what lies ahead and whats needed in the world of

According to the book description of Criminal InJustice In America: Essays
By A Career Cop, "Challenging and daring. Marshall Frank gives us all
much to think about. These essays should be discussed and considered by criminal
justice professionals, lawmakers and academic thinkers everywhere. - David
Waksman, Author and Ass't State Attorney, Miami, Florida "Marshall Frank
challenges conventional thought and policies that are not working. He uses the
criminal justice system as a mirror of where our society has been, and a window
of where we should be going. Buckle up for a thought-provoking episode of Frank
talk." - Douglas W. Hughes, Retired Police Major, former Florida Drug CzarIn
Criminal InJustice In America, author Marshall Frank presents a powerful
argument for amending laws and process regarding the war on drugs, prostitution,
abortion, capital punishment, sex offenses and more. Frank points out how narrow
thinking has created an irreversible justice quagmire which not only creates
more crime, it serves a prison industrial complex that has grown into a cheap
labor pool for corporate America. Only a non-politically correct, thirty-year
career cop with the muzzle removed can dare offer such candid and startling
alternatives to a failed system that now houses 2.3 million inmates in America's
prisons, at least a third of whom do not belong there. Readers with interest in
the American justice system will find this a stimulating and fascinating
collection of essays on subjects never before tackled in this manner."

and the protection of our Bill of Rights to conquer and create the Islamic
Republic of America before the end of this century."
