Alexander on mass incarceration

In the contemporary society, most African Americans have fallen victim to incarceration as they are under the correctional institutions, probation centers or have been jailed compared to the years back then (Alexander, 96). Increased rates of incarceration in the criminal justice system negatively impact the society as it leads to a francization of most individuals in the society as they are continually denied most rights to civil access. Prosecution of most African Americans towards confinement in the correctional institution for longer periods indicates the impact the system has on the general society regarding disadvantaging dependents economically and socially (Alexander, 112). Most individuals who serve time and are released back to the society find it hard to readjust back as they are limited towards employment and other civil rights coupled with effective monitoring hence leading to frustration.
