The United States has the world’s largest prison population, with more than two million behind bars. Alexander says this is mainly due to America’s `war on drugs,’ launched in 1982. In The New Jim Crow, she explains how this government initiative has led to America’s black citizens being imprisoned on a colossal scale.
