      abstract = {Over two million people are incarcerated in America's  prisons and jails, eight times as many since 1975.  Mandatory minimum sentencing, parole agencies intent on  sending people back to prison, three-strike laws,  for-profit prisons, and other changes in the legal system  have contributed to this spectacular rise of the general  prison population.After overseeing the largest city jail  system in the country, Michael Jacobson knows first-hand  the inner workings of the corrections system. In Downsizing  Prisons, he convincingly argues that mass incarceration  will not, as many have claimed, reduce crime nor create  more public safety. Simply put, throwing away the key is  not the answer.},
