mass incarceration
Paper instructions:
In The New Jim Crow, Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, author Michelle Alexander argues
that it is important for us to understand that The New Jim Crow is the Prison Industrial Complex system which
has disproportionately incarcerated black men at an alarming rate in the United State. She writes: “ Like Jim
Crow (and slavery), mass incarceration operates as a tightly networked system of laws, policies, customs, and
institutions that operate collectively to ensure the subordinate status of a group defined largely by race
(Alexander, 13).
Carefully consider the four key points that Alexander raises in the passage above. In your essay of 4-5
pages, discuss whether or not you support Alexander’s position on her insights about mass incarceration in the
Age of Obama. Remember to do the following in your essay: 1) state your own position in your thesis
statement; and 2) support your thesis by discussing specific points that address Alexander’s main arguments.
All in all, your essay will include a combination of your own ideas, analysis, observations, and examples/details
as they relate to the main points that Alexander makes.
