설명

Marie Gottschalk explores the complex and often troubling landscape of mass incarceration in America. Her insightful analysis delves into the historical and political factors that have led to the establishment of a sprawling carceral system, unparalleled among Western societies. Through detailed exploration, she illuminates how political decisions, societal attitudes, and economic interests intertwine to create a cycle of punishment and marginalization.

Gottschalk examines not only the impacts of this system on individuals and communities but also the broader implications for justice and democracy in the United States. She challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths about race, inequality, and the power dynamics at play in incarceration policies. By shedding light on these critical issues, the author prompts a necessary dialogue on reform and accountability.

As a work of scholarship, this book invites readers to reflect on what it means to be a just society. It serves as both a wake-up call and a thoughtful commentary on the urgent need for change in the American penal landscape. Through her rigorous research and compelling narrative, Gottschalk urges society to reconsider its approach to crime and punishment in the pursuit of a more equitable future.
