How did the land of the free become the home of the worlds largest prison system? Challenging the belief that Americas prison problem originated with the Reagan administrations War on Drugs, Elizabeth Hinton traces the rise of mass incarceration to an ironic source: the social welfare programs of Lyndon Johnsons Great Society at the height of the civil rights era.An extraordinary and important new book.Jill Lepore, New YorkerHintons book is more than an argument; it is a revelationThere are moments that will make your skin crawlThis is history, but the implications for today are striking. Readers will learn how the militarization of the police that weve witnessed in Ferguson and elsewhere had roots in the 1960s.Imani Perry, New York Times Book Review
