Synopsis

In a country with five percent of the world's population but twenty-five percent of its prisoners, one has to wonder how this disparity got so out of hand. With the advent of prison privatization, the replacement of judicial discretion with mandatory minimum sentencing, and a shift from rehabilitation to retribution, corrections in the United States has become a system that perpetuates continually high recidivism rates and the so-called "revolving door." In this book, Natalie Faulk examines and provides insight into the underlying problems plaguing the contemporary corrections system.
