Abstract
Mass incarceration has always been a significant player at the forefront of the corruption within the criminal justice system. From unjust sentencing to daily arrest quotas, the United States has become the home of the largest incarceration system the world's ever seen. With the economy thriving off of the free labor provided by prisoners, it is likely this country could stop flourishing without this corrupt system. But how does this affect you as an individual? How can you personally be affected by a system that you don't have to encounter one on one? A series of interviews and numerous sources can help to explain just how serious the impact of mass incarceration can be. And it just might change your outlook on the matter forever.
