Smart Decarceration is a forward-thinking, practical volume that
provides innovative concepts and concrete strategies for ushering
in an era of decarceration - a proactive and effective undoing of
the era of mass incarceration. The text grapples with tough
questions and takes up the challenge of transforming America's
approach to criminal justice in the 21st century. This timely work
consists of chapters written from multiple perspectives and
disciplines including advocates, researchers, academics,
practitioners, and persons with incarceration histories who are now
leaders in the movement. The primary purpose of this book is to
inform both academic and public understanding - to place the
challenge of smart decarceration at the center of the current
national discourse, taking into account the realities of the
current sociopolitical context - and to propose beginning action
steps. This is achieved by first outlining and addressing questions
such as: What if incarceration were not an option for most?; Whose
voices are essential in this era of decarceration?; What is the
state of evidence for solutions?; How do we generate and adopt
empirically driven reforms?; How do we redefine and rethink justice
in the United States? Smart Decarceration offers a way forward in
building a field for decarceration through provocative but reasoned
challenges to existing approaches to criminal justice reforms,
lively focus on potential solutions, and action steps for reform.
