The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness is a book by Michelle Alexander, a civil rights litigator and legal scholar.
The social inequality produced by mass incarceration is sizable and enduring for three main reasons: it is invisible, it is cumulative, and it is intergenerational. The inequality is invisible in the sense that institutionalized populations commonly lie outside our official accounts of economic well-being.
The answer is Evangelical Christianity or Evangelical Protestantism. It is a worldwide, transdenominational movement within Protestant Christianity which upholds the belief that the core of the gospel consists of the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ's atonement. Evangelicals have faith in the significance of the conversion or the "born again" experience in getting salvation, in the authority of the Bible as God's revelation to humanity, and in thinning out the Christian message. The movement has had a long occurrence in the Anglosphere before spreading beyond it in the 20th and 21st centuries.
