Mandatory minimum sentencing, parole agencies intent on sending people back to prison, three-strike laws, for-profit prisons, and other changes in the legal system have contributed to this spectacular rise of the general prison population. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter overseeing the largest city jail system in the country, Michael Jacobson knows first-hand the inner workings of the corrections system. In \u003cb\u003eDownsizing Prisons\u003c\/b\u003e, he convincingly argues that mass incarceration will not, as many have claimed, reduce crime nor create more public safety. Simply put, throwing away the key is not the answer.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 292\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.01 x 9.24 x 6.28 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47386529988857,"sku":"9780814742747","price":192.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/iVmZbumJ0x9780814742747_5159d5b5-a773-4f96-885a-13c47133a05b.webp?v=1770189449","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/downsizing-prisons-how-to-reduce-crime-and-end-mass-incarceration-hardcover-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
