Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB and virtually PERFECT condition book which is an examination of race, class and flaws in the American Justice System written by MARC MAUER of The Sentencing Project--the book is a FIRST PRINTING of the Revised & Updated Second Edition and a softcover copy.  This book is in SUPERB and virtually PERFECT condition with light sunning (fading) on the spine edge, a tiny stray mark on the upper portion of the spine edge and very slight shelfwear and NO other significant imperfections!  The book is titled Race to Incarcerate: Revised and Updated and it was written by MARC MAUER; it was published by The New Press in 2006 and is a Revised and Updated 2nd Edition and a 1st PRINTING with a publication line reading 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.

In this revised edition of his seminal book on race, class, and the criminal justice system, Marc Mauer, former executive director of one of the United States’ leading criminal justice reform organizations, offers the most up-to-date look available at three decades of prison expansion in America.

Race to Incarcerate tells the tragic story of runaway growth in the number of prisons and jails and the overreliance on imprisonment to stem problems of economic and social development. Called “sober and nuanced” by Publishers Weekly, Race to Incarcerate documents the enormous financial and human toll of the “get tough” movement, and argues for more humane—and productive—alternatives.

A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!
