Meanwhile, an ever-widening carceral state has sprouted in the shadows, extending its reach far beyond the prison gate. It sunders families and communities and reworks conceptions of democracy, rights, and citizenship--posing a formidable political and social challenge. In \u003ci\u003eCaught\u003c\/i\u003e, Marie Gottschalk examines why the carceral state remains so tenacious in the United States. She analyzes the shortcomings of the two dominant penal reform strategies--one focused on addressing racial disparities, the other on seeking bipartisan, race-neutral solutions centered on reentry, justice reinvestment, and reducing recidivism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a new preface evaluating the effectiveness of recent proposals to reform mass incarceration, \u003ci\u003eCaught\u003c\/i\u003e offers a bracing appraisal of the politics of penal reform.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marie Gottschalk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691170835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691170831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.40d","brand":"Marie Gottschalk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994128187647,"sku":"9780691170831","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3af6bd0f-341f-4e72-9d5b-c91757c10474.jpg?v=1683328292","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/caught-marie-gottschalk-9780691170831","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
