A discussion to the chances of released prisoners getting themselves back in prisons after being released. What ostensibly “color-blind” social, political, economic and legal factors make it more likely that prisoners from racial or ethnic minorities who are released will eventually return to jail or prison? How can this be changed? Do you think such measures will be successful? Why or why not? What is meant by the “normalization” of mass incarceration? Why is this something that will be difficult to change? How does the government profit from the occurrence of crime?
