Schoenfeld masterfully merges punishment and race theories to explain how state punitive policies and practices not only endure over time and space, but are dramatically expanded through carceral capacity--a state's ability to punishment by creating new criminal justice institutions. This is a must read for anyone thinking deeply about the racial politics of criminal justice policy and potential solutions for prison reform. --John Eason, Texas A&M University, author of Big House on the Prairie: Rise of the Rural Ghetto and Prison Proliferation
