  Since the crime explosion of the 1960s, the prison population in the United States has multiplied fivefold, to one prisoner for every hundred adults - a rate unprecedented in American history and unmatched anywhere in the world. This book explains how we got into the trap and how we can get out of it: to cut both crime and the prison population.
