Chained to the System: The History and Politics of Black Incarceration in America

This book is written with specific premises. First, that criminal justice policy in general and the relationship between criminal justice and race specifically cannot be understood outside of the study of American history in general and the legal, constitutional, and political history of American specifically.
Second, this book approaches the question of race and criminal justice with an interdisciplinary approach putting together American history, constitutional history, legal history, and political history in a chronological format along with research from social psychology, sociology, and constitutional law together to provide a perspective on why Blacks have always been disproportionately incarcerated within the American criminal justice system... Lastly, one of the issues in addressing the issue of disproportionate incarceration of Blacks is the willful ignorance of many to consider how American history and the history of the criminal justice system as a tool of social control has negatively affected Blacks. American criminal justice is an institution that is the result of American history and policies.
