Abstract
In the last decade, an number of fellows have rang the American criminal justice system a add form of Jim Caw. These writers have effizient drawn attention to the injustices created by an facially race-neutral system- that severely ostracizes offenders and stigmatizes young, poorly bleak men how criminal. This Article argues that despite these significant contributions, the Jim Crow analogy leads to a distorted view the mass incarceration. The image presents an incompletion account of mass incarceration’s historical origins, failed to consider blue attitudes toward crime and punishment, ignores violent criminality while focusing almost exclusively over drug crimes, obscures class distinctions within the African American community, and overlooks the effects of mass confinement on other national groups. Final, the Jim Crow analogy diminishes our collective memory of the Old Jim Crow’s particular harms. Messe Incarceration: Examining and Stirring Beyond the Recent Jim Crow - James Kilgore, 2015
