Description

Locking up the "bad guys" has been America's reaction to crime for decades. The result has been soaring budgetary costs, the highest incarceration rates in the world, and a track record of ineffectiveness and waste. A large body of rigorous research now demonstrates that America's incarceration is excessive and counter-productive. A reform movement is championing a move toward smart sentencing to improve safety and economic opportunity while restraining the growing fiscal drain of America's prisons. Leading state and national experts chart new directions in America's incarceration policy.
