Race, Incarceration, And American Values
The United States now houses twenty-five percent of the world's prison inmates. This work argues that this extraordinary mass incarceration is not a response to rising crime rates or a proud success of social policy. Instead, it is the product of a generation-old collective decision to become a more punitive society.
