This comprehensive reader delves into the intricate realm of mass incarceration, exploring its causes, impacts, and potential solutions. Drawing upon the expertise of leading experts across various disciplines and the firsthand experiences of individuals directly affected by the system, the editors have assembled a diverse collection of chapters that shed light on various aspects of imprisonment, punishment, incarceration, reentry, and reintegration.
The consequences of the exponential growth of the prison population in the United States over the past 50 years have been devastating, leading to profound disparities that disproportionately impact marginalized communities, including the poor, communities of color, and women. Mass incarceration is the result of a complex interplay of policies and practices that favor the privileged and perpetuate disenfranchisement for marginalized groups. This book goes beyond the confines of the corrections department and delves into the broader administrative structures that underpin laws, biased practices, and the pervasive societal stigma associated with mass incarceration. By offering concise and accessible readings, the book aims to deepen comprehension and foster critical thinking about this pressing issue.
This book serves as an invaluable resource for students and scholars engaged in courses related to corrections, prisons, penology, law, policy, sociology, social work, and social justice. It can be used as a primary or supplementary textbook, providing comprehensive coverage of the past, present, and future of mass incarceration. Additionally, it will be of interest to individuals seeking a deeper understanding of this complex phenomenon and its societal implications.
