"Based on Race to Incarcerate by Marc Mauer"--Page [iv].
Introduction: U.S. prisons from inception to export -- The rise of the "tough on crime" movement -- The triumph of "tough on crime" -- The rock gets rolling -- Crime as politics: the Reagan-Bush years -- Kemba Smith: a case of extreme sentencing -- Crime as politics: the Clinton years -- Crime as politics: the George W. Bush years -- The prison-crime connection -- Color-coded justice -- The war on drugs and African Americans -- A new direction.
"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."--Publisher's website.
