State of Incarceration

State of Incarceration

State of Incarceration asks if crime rates are so low, why are we spending so much more money on criminal justice?

Canadian crime rates are at a 42-year low yet our federal government is spending billions of dollars to get tough on crime. Meanwhile in America, there is a push for fewer prisons and less people in them. In State of Incarceration we speak to prisoners, ex-cons, politicians, criminologists, wardens, cops, community activists and take viewers inside prisons in the U.S. and Canada, to see what rehabilitation methods work and which ones don’t.
