When Justice Wears a Familiar Mask
A young man walks out of prison after serving time for drug possession. He's paid his debt to society, or so he believes. Within weeks, he's denied public housing, rejected from dozens of jobs, stripped of food stamps, and barred from voting. His criminal record-a scarlet letter in digital form-follows him everywhere, ensuring that punishment never truly ends. This isn't an unfortunate side effect of our justice system. It's the system working exactly as designed. Michelle Alexander's explosive work reveals a truth that makes Americans deeply uncomfortable: we didn't end racial oppression in the 1960s. We simply redesigned it. The New Jim Crow isn't a provocative metaphor-it's a precise diagnosis of how mass incarceration functions as America's latest racial caste system, maintaining hierarchies through law enforcement rather than "Whites Only" signs.
