Truthout discussed the book with Mauer recently in “How the Prison-Industrial Complex Destroys Lives” This is an accessible, documented history of how the United States has come to have the largest percentage of its citizens in prison: 25 percent of people in the world who are incarcerated.

I’m not a defender of President Ronald Reagan. He’s not a hero of mine. I don’t think he was a great President, overall. His administration’s spent too much money, piled on too many deficits and too much debt, as well as locked up too many nonviolent offenders, and expanded the War On Drugs. As well as the increase in the homeless population, with all the mental hospitals losing their funding, thanks to the Reagan Administration.
