After forty years of increasing prison construction and
incarceration rates, winds of change are blowing through the
American correctional system. The 2008 financial crisis
demonstrated the unsustainability of the incarceration project,
thereby empowering policy makers to reform punishment through
fiscal prudence and austerity. In Cheap on Crime, Hadar Aviram
draws on years of archival and journalistic research and builds on
social history and economics literature to show the powerful impact
of recession-era discourse on the death penalty, the war on drugs,
incarceration practices, prison health care, and other aspects of
the American correctional landscape.
