First, briefly define mass incarceration and provide some data that indicates the scope of this phenomenon. Second, argue WHY you think the U.S. has the highest incarceration rate in the world (e.g., more crime, better police, tougher laws, targeting certain groups, etc.).

If you think maintained, briefly explain why. If you think reformed, please suggest one or two reforms you think may be most beneficial.
