The State of Incarceration in the United States
Understanding the Complexities of Incarceration
In recent years, the conversation surrounding incarceration in the United States has gained prominence, raising critical questions about the driving forces behind mass incarceration. Is it primarily a result of the War on Drugs? Do the profit motives of private prisons play a significant role? Furthermore, have popular reforms truly triggered a crime wave, or do they reflect a deeper misunderstanding of the criminal legal system?
