A rage to punish : the unintended consequences of mandatory sentencing / Lois G. Forer
New York : Norton, 1994
204 p. ; 24 cm.
For the past two centuries, the United States has relied on prison as the punishment of choice for law violators although it has not deterred crime or rehabilitated offenders. Since the 1970s increasingly severe sentencing laws, both mandatory sentences and sentencing guidelines, have been adopted by the federal government and the states. The results have been massive prison overcrowding, the expenditure of millions of tax dollars on prisons, crowded court dockets, and incredible hardship on the offenders and their families. Crime has not been decreased. Streets are no safer. Respect for law has diminished. Judges, prison wardens, and concerned citizens demand a change in this costly and futile program of punishment
