Add to ORKGThe United States prison system is in desperate need of reform. We are the world’s leading jailer, creating trends of mass incarceration, racial disparity and widespread prison overpopulation. The statistics surrounding U.S. criminal justice, specifically our national prison system, are dismal at best. Over 2 million U.S. citizens arecurrently in prison.

Federal prisons exceed their capacity even more so by 36 percent.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/racial_justice/1206/thumbnail.jp
