Race to Incarcerate

This is a FANTASTIC resource. It clearly and compellingly (that's a word right?) lays out the case for how our criminal justice system is fuckeddd. I haven't read the non-adapted version of [b:Race to Incarcerate 302013 Race to Incarcerate Marc Mauer https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1344716602s/302013.jpg 293077] but I have read [b:The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness 6792458 The New Jim Crow Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness Michelle Alexander https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328751532s/6792458.jpg 6996712] so a lot of this information was not necessarily new to me, but I liked the layout and structure of this, and the rough black & white illustrations & graphs really drive home the information.I know this is an adapted version of the adult NF book, and so I'm guessing if you want footnotes for any of this, you have to check that out? I mean I think putting a bunch of footnotes in the GN itself would probably be cluttery, but there's like, nothing.But I do like that the end gives concrete ways to reach out to prison inmates, and overall, this is great. Would recommend to socially-conscious teens but maybe also to adults who don't feel like reading New Jim Crow or the full-length version of Race to Incarcerate.
