Discussion Post: Prisons, Jails & Mass Incarceration

Since the 1970's, the United States has experienced unprecedented growth of incarceration. This growth has resulted in what may be referred to as "mass incarceration". First, briefly define mass incarceration and provide some data that indicates the scope of this phenomenon. Second, argue WHY you think the U.S. has the highest incarceration rate in the world (e.g., more crime, better police, tougher laws, targeting certain groups, etc.). Finally, briefly discuss the pros and cons of the growth of incarceration and argue whether policies contributing to mass incarceration should be maintained or reformed. If you think maintained, briefly explain why. If you think reformed, please suggest one or two reforms you think may be most beneficial.
