A few links of possible interest to start the week:
A graphic illustration showing where and why prisoners are incarcerated in the United States, from the Prison Policy Initiative: Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie.
The latest from Michael O’Hear at the Marquette Law School who, with Darren Wheelock, of Marquette’s Department of Social & Cultural Sciences, has been studying Wisconsinites’ attitudes toward Truth-in-Sentencing: Imprisonment Inertia and Public Attitudes Toward “Truth in Sentencing”.
And a story both sad and frightening about a “rogue” court reporter “channelling his inner ‘Shining'”: coverage here and here (via appellatesquawk).
