The American Prospect magazine has just published the report, “Mass Incarceration in America”:  The issue includes essays from journalists and criminal justice experts who review the policies that have contributed to the nation’s high rate of incarceration and the subsequent impact on youth and low-income communities of color in particular.

It also details promising initiatives that seek to change incarceration trends and aid at-risk populations with social services support in order to prevent crime. Kara Gotsch, Director of Advocacy for The Sentencing Project, contributed to the special report.
