Summary

Alexander offers an indictment of the criminal justice system, arguing that the War on Drugs and policies that deny convicted felons equal access to employment, housing, education, and public benefits create a permanent under caste based largely on race. Includes a new preface for the tenth-anniversary edition discussing the impact the book has had and the state of the criminal justice reform movement today
