Go The F*** To Court!
Same price, very different subject matter for the illustrator of “Go The Fuck To Sleep,” the free, viral, adultish kids’ book sensation. This time, Ricardo Cortes wants to help put America’s war on drugs to bed.

…the illustrator of Go The Fuck To Sleep hopes to put a different subject to rest: the war on drugs. Yesterday 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 conscious. (The inspiration comes from a Time magazine article from the creators of The Wire that suggested jury nullification as one solution to this issue.)
