Austin Carr explains Ricardo Cortes' new project:
Now the illustrator of Go The Fuck To Sleep hopes to put a different subject to rest: the war on drugs. [Earlier this week] Cortes released Jury Independence Illustrated, a roughly 20-page booklet delving into the problems of skyrocketing non-violent drug convictions. It's an educational pamphlet designed to teach jurors about the impact they could have on the issue–that is, by taking a more active role in the prosecution process, and basing their decisions not on the evidence before them but on their conscience.
