Mass incarceration is a uniquely American phenomenon but it is not simply the result of electoral politics.
In this episode of Books in 5, the author of Justice Abandoned:
How the Supreme Court Ignored the Constitution and Enabled Mass Incarceration joins us to highlight the role of the Supreme Court in enabling the trend of ever-more prisoners as the Justices made a number of key rulings over the past few decades that led to changes in the criminal justice system.
Through an in-depth historical investigation increase of pre-trial detention, plea bargaining, stop-and-frisk policies and a number of other critical judicial decisions, Justice Abandoned showcases how the Supreme Court has deviated from their mandate to safeguard the Constitution of the United States.

A past member of the United States Sentencing Commission, she is the author of Prisoners of Politics: Breaking the Cycle of Mass Incarceration.
