The United States, a single country, incarcerates a staggering quarter of the world's incarcerated population. Over 850,000 Americans are currently on parole, yet the parole system remains shrouded in mystery, a perplexing process plagued by disparities. Few grasp parole as the extraordinary turning point it represents, both in the country's evolving notions of justice and in the cycle of mass incarceration. Through its poignant portraits of two men, serving life sentences for murder, and the parole board that holds their freedom in the balance, Correction offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the parole process. Austen's captivating storytelling compels us to confront some of the most profound questions underlying the country's values surrounding crime and punishment: What must someone who commits a heinous act do to earn a second chance? What is the purpose of incarceration? An enlightening work of narrative nonfiction, Correction challenges us to reflect upon our own motivations for punishing and who we choose to incarcerate. It prompts us to explore alternative approaches to breaking free from an era of mass imprisonment.
