The roots and evolution of mass incarceration -- The war on drugs -- How did we get here? From black codes to neoslavery -- Beyond law and order -- Three overlooked pipelines: mental health, private prisons, and immigration -- The school-to-prison pipeline -- The church's witness and testimony -- Protestant reformers: prophetic activism, nonviolence, and God's wrath -- The prisoners' pastor: chaplaincy and theology's institutional impact -- The spirit of punishment: atonement, penal substitution, and the wrath of God -- Atonement and sanctifying retribution -- Divine justice is inherently restorative -- Holy interruptions: dismantling mass incarceration.
Explores the history and foundation of mass incarceration and examines Christianity's role in its evolution and expansion.
