DESCRIPTION:Presentation and discussion with Jonathan Simon, author of the new book, 
 Mass Incarceration on Trial: A Remarkable Court Decision and the Future of 
 Prisons in America\n \nFor nearly forty years, the United States has been 
 gripped by policies that have placed more than 2.5 million Americans in 
 jails and prisons designed to hold a fraction of that number of inmates. 
 Our prisons are not only vast and overcrowded, they are degrading—relying 
 on racist gangs, lockdowns, and Supermax-style segregation units to 
 maintain a tenuous order. \n\n“A masterful job of assessing the 
 qualitative shift in the court’s analysis on human rights concerns as 
 they apply to our notorious prison system, the book points the way to a 
 legal strategy premised on human dignity as a means of challenging mass 
 incarceration.”\n\n— Marc Mauer, executive director, The Sentencing 
 Project, and author of Race to Incarcerate \n
