Examine statistics, historical contexts, global comparisons, and first-person testimonials to understand why the United States spends heavily on mass incarceration yet struggles with racial bias and high recidivism rates.

Gain insights from Dr. Shankar's extensive literary background, including his work on award-winning translations and anthologies, as he presents a compelling argument for rethinking our approach to justice and social responsibility.
