- Crime and the Failure of America's Penal System

Bag om Big Prisons, Big Dreams

The American prison system has grown tenfold since the 1970s, but crime rates in the United States have not decreased. The author argues that our oversized prison system is a product of our consumer culture, the public's inaccurate beliefs about controlling crime, and the government's criminalization of the poor.
