During the past 25 years, the prison population in America shot
upward to reach a staggering 1.53 million by 2005. This book takes
a broad, critical look at incarceration, the huge social experiment
of American society. The authors investigate the causes and
consequences of the prison buildup, often challenging previously
held notions from scholarly and public discourse. By examining such
themes as social discontent, safety and security within prisons,
and the impact on crime and on the labour market, Piehl and Useem
use evidence to address the inevitable larger question, where
should incarceration go next for American society, and where is it
likely to go?
