DESCRIPTION:Join the Brennan Center for Justice as our panel of criminal justice 
 experts propose a better response to crime than failed mass 
 incarceration.\n\nThe United States has the highest incarceration rate in 
 the world, a dubious distinction with grave social consequences. Most of 
 the more than 1 million Americans in prison — disproportionately 
 low-income people of color — will return to their communities after 
 serving long sentences with few resources and little support. Recidivism 
 rates remain stubbornly high. The criminal justice system, then, fails to 
 produce public safety even as core values such as equality, fairness, and 
 proportionality have fallen by the wayside.\n\nThe new book, Excessive 
 Punishment: How the Justice System Creates Mass Incarceration, edited by 
 the Brennan Center’s Lauren-Brooke Eisen, features essays from scholars, 
 practitioners, activists, writers who experienced incarceration, and 
 others. The contributors explore the social costs of excessive punishment 
 and how to ensure public safety without perpetuating the harms of mass 
 incarceration.\n\nJoin us virtually on Wednesday, April 17, at noon PT (3 
 p.m. ET) for a live event to hear from several of the book’s 
 contributors. They will discuss why the U.S. criminal justice system is so 
 punitive and what alternatives could rebalance it.
