Marc Mauer, Sabrina Jones: Race to Incarcerate, New Press
Risvolto
In this revised edition of his seminal
book on race, class, and the criminal justice system, Marc Mauer,
executive director of one of the United States’ leading criminal justice
reform organizations, offers the most up-to-date look available at
three decades of prison expansion in America.
Including newly
written material on recent developments under the Bush administration
and updated statistics, graphs, and charts throughout, the book tells
the tragic story of runaway growth in the number of prisons and jails
and the overreliance on imprisonment to stem problems of economic and
social development. Called “sober and nuanced” by Publishers Weekly, Race to Incarcerate
documents the enormous financial and human toll of the “get tough”
movement, and argues for more humane—and productive—alternatives.
