Problem
Discuss the concepts of mass incarceration and racial terrorism and give examples of how you see it happening in the U.S. today. Explain how the increase in fear of crime among Americans led to the increase in the building of prisons and the lengthening of prison sentences for those convicted of crimes. Do you believe that "getting tough on crime" works? Why or why not? Finally, do you support or oppose the death penalty and why? (Be sure to support your opinion.)
