Description:  xii, 111 p. : ill. ; 26 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  The United States' rate of incarceration is the highest in the world. Why and how did this happen? Marc Mauer's Race to Incarcerate, first published in 1999, has become the essential text for understanding the exponential growth of the U.S. prison system and a canonical work for those active in the U.S. criminal justice reform movement. Now, Sabrina Jones, a member of the World War 3 Illustrated collective and an acclaimed author of politically engaged comics, has collaborated with Mauer to adapt and update the original book into a vivid, engaging comics narrative designed to reach new audiences. Jones's dramatic artwork adds passion and compassion to the complex story of four decades of prison expansion and its corrosive effect on generations of Americans. In this highly accessible format, it presents a compelling argument that mass incarceration has replaced the kind of civic institutions and economic welfare crucial to creating a just society. Sabrina Jones lives in Brooklyn, New York. Genre:  Comic books, strips, etc. Graphic non-fiction. Other authors:  Mauer, Marc.
