Sensible Justice: Alternatives to Prison

Rating:
Summary: These aren't the real alternatives
Review: Instead of writing about the real alternatives to prison­such as less punative criminal justice policies that work to mend damaged communities instead of tear them further apart, Anderson's book uncritically describes programs that expand the state's power further, will saving no one from prison. Alternatives to Prison does a disservice to the subject it proports to examine. -Daniel Burton-Rose, co-editor, The Celling of America: An Inside Look at the U.S. Prison Industry.
