Locked In: The True Causes of Mass Incarceration-and How to Achieve Real Reform

The groundbreaking book "Locked In" by John Pfaff offers a comprehensive reassessment of the American prison system, challenging widely accepted explanations for our exploding incarceration rates.

The author argues that factors such as the failed War on Drugs and draconian sentencing laws are not the primary causes of mass incarceration.

Instead, he highlights a major shift in prosecutor behavior in the mid-1990s, where prosecutors began bringing felony charges against arrestees about twice as often as they had before.

This book provides an authoritative and clear-eyed account of a national catastrophe, transforming our understanding of what ails the American system of punishment and offering practical solutions for building a more equitable and humane society.

Don't miss out on this must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complex issues surrounding mass incarceration and how to achieve real reform.
