The document discusses mass incarceration, drawing parallels between the 'old' and 'new' Jim Crow, particularly in the context of the war on drugs and systemic racial bias. It highlights statistics indicating the disproportionate targeting of non-white individuals and critiques common myths about the causes of incarceration. Additionally, it emphasizes the societal and psychological factors contributing to crime and the detrimental impacts of prison on individuals and communities.

- 57. “All people makemistakes. All of us are sinners. All of us are criminals. All of us violate the law at some point in our lives. In fact, if the worst thing you have ever done is speed ten miles over the speed limit on the freeway, you have put yourself and others at more risk of harm than someone smoking marijuana in the privacy of his or her living room. Yet there are people in the United States serving life sentences for first-time drug offenses, something virtually unheard of anywhere else in the world.”
