The dramatic increase in U.S. prison populations since the 1970s is often blamed on the mandatory sentencing required by 'three strikes' laws and other punitive crime bills. Michael O'Hear shows that the blame is actually not so easily assigned. His meticulous analysis of incarceration in Wisconsina state where judges have considerable discretion in sentencingexplores the reasons why the prison population has ballooned nearly tenfold over the past forty years.O'Hear tracks the effects of sentencing laws and politics in Wisconsin from the eve of the imprisonment boom in 1970 up to the 2010s. Drawing on archival research, original publicopinion polling, and interviews with dozens of key policymakers, he reveals important dimensions that have been missed by others. He draws out lessons from the Wisconsin experience for the United States as a whole, where mass incarceration has cost taxpayers billions of dollars and caused untold misery to millions of inmates and their families.
