After decades of stability from the 1920s to the early 1970s, the rate of imprisonment in the United States has increased fivefold during the last four decades. The US penal population of 2.2 million adults is by far the largest in the world. This book examines research and analysis of the dramatic rise of incarceration rates and its affects.
