Locked in : the true causes of mass incarceration--and how to achieve real reform / John F. Pfaff. by Pfaff, John F., author. New York : Basic Books, 2017 Description:  viii, 311 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm Contents:  Introduction: American exceptionalism -- The standard story: The war on drugs. A brief history of time (served). Private prisons, public spending. Costs of the standard story -- A new narrative: The man behind the curtain. The broken politics of punishment. The third rail : violent offenses. Quo Vadis? -- Conclusion. Summary:  "Pfaff argues that existing accounts of the causes of mass incarceration are fundamentally misguided. The most widely accepted explanations--the failed War on Drugs, draconian sentencing laws, an increasing reliance on private prisons--actually tell us much less than we like to think. Instead, Pfaff urges us to look at other factors, including a major shift in prosecutor behavior that occurred in the mid-1990s, when prosecutors began bringing felony charges against arrestees about twice as often as they had before"--Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 365.973 Pfa 2017 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
