| Description: |
The United States has the highest per-capita incarceration rate in the world. But are we any safer? The author proves that locking people up actually makes society less safe - and that there are alternatives that do a better job of deterring crime and providing justice for victims. |
| Synopsis: |
Through the stories of prisoners and their families, including her own familys experiences, Maya Schenwar shows how the institution that locks up 2. 3 million Americans and decimates poor communities of color is shredding the ties that, if nurtured, could foster real collective safety. As she vividly depicts here, incarceration takes away the very things that might enable people to build better lives. But looking toward a future beyond imprisonment, Schenwar profiles community-based initiatives that successfully deal with problems both individual harm and larger social wrongs through connection rather than isolation, moving toward a safer, freer future for all of us. |
