"With dazzling candor, Alexander argues that we all pay the cost of
the new Jim Crow.”
"Michelle Alexander’s book offers a timely and original framework for
understanding mass incarceration, its roots to Jim Crow, our modern
caste system, and what must be done to eliminate it."
"More African American men are in prison or jail, on probation or
parole than were enslaved in 1850, before the Civil War began."
