摘要

At the end of August, Mike, a 31-year-old Latino from Chicago's south side, will walk away from prison a free man. Again. This is his second long prison term for dealing in drugs and stealing cars; he has been in and out of jail a dozen times. He will be released into the same community where he has found trouble so many times before; he will attempt to reunite with his five children born to several different mothers. "Nothing really scares me about leaving," says Mike. "It's just the thought of coming back." America's incarceration rate was roughly constant from 1925 to 1973, with an average of 110 people behind bars for every 100,000 residents. By 2000, however, the rate of incarceration in state and federal prisons had more than quadrupled, to 478. America has overtaken Russia as the world's most aggressive jailer. When local jails are included in the American tally, the United States locks up nearly 700 people per 100,000, compared with 102 for Canada, 132 for England and Wales, 85 for France and a paltry 48 in Japan. Roughly 2m Americans are currently behind bars, with some 4.5m on parole or on probation (the probationers are on suspended sentences). Another 3m Americans are ex-convicts who have served their sentences and are no longer under the control of the justice system.
