Incarceration Explosion
About This Book
Michael Wing and Victoria Junkins look at the vast American prison system and the damage it spreads well beyond prison walls. With millions of people locked up, they trace how incarceration breaks apart households and communities and deepens racial inequality. They focus on how people of color carry a heavier share of this weight, and how suspicion and stigma follow people long after they leave prison. Wing writes from personal experience. He went from serving as president and CEO of a corporation to being a federal prisoner, and he draws on that path to describe daily life behind bars and the years that follow release. The authors write from a Christian perspective, but they address readers of any faith, ideology, or background. Their central argument is that the system has fallen into disorder and that repairing it means calling on shared action and returning to the nation's founding principles. They challenge the status quo and urge people to work together on a crisis they see as pressing.
