Harvard sociologist, Bruce Western, has a lengthy piece on reversing mass incarceration in the Boston Review. Printing it now - 29 pages long. Will have to read on the john some other time. Let's hope it's got mix of idealistic things (like drug legalization) and realistic things (liked increased funding to minority education).
Actually, the entire issue is full of incarceration articles. Here's one on fathers and imprisonment, a neglected topic, but one that is getting a lot more attention over the last couple of years. Here's another on lessons we can learn from the history of prison boom.
