 Hussan, Reshmaan N. & Fetter, Holly. "Race and Mass Incarceration in the United States. 1. Why does the United States – the leader of the GLO – face the greatest challenge with mass incarceration globally? 2. How have racial inequalities entered into and become normalized within the carceral system? What history, institutions, ideologies, or other factors have contributed to the current system? 3. What should be the goals of incarceration and criminal punishment in a democracy? What is the goal of modern mass incarceration, and how does it compare? If mass incarceration does not accord with what you think the function of punishment should be, what alternatives better meet democratic ideals?  Note: remember this is a policy statement and so no "I" statements Include all of this as a policy memo as though you are on the staff of a state or national representative
