Mass Incarceration | Estateplanning | Vibepedia.Network

Mass incarceration refers to the widespread imprisonment of people, particularly in the United States, often due to non-violent crimes and disproportionately affecting marginalized communities. This phenomenon has been linked to systemic issues such as racism, poverty, and inadequate social support. The consequences of mass incarceration are far-reaching, impacting not only individuals but also families, communities, and society as a whole. According to the Prison Policy Initiative, the United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with over 2.3 million people behind bars as of 2022.
