Description

The USA has 5 percent of the arena’s population but 25 percent of the arena’s incarcerated. We’ve got more people locked up in jails, prisons, and detention centers than every other country within the history of the arena. There are more jails and prisons than degree-granting colleges and universities, and in many places more people live at the back of bars than on college campuses. Mass incarceration has turn out to be a lucrative industry, and the criminal justice system is plagued with bias and unjust practices. And the church has unwittingly contributed to those problems. In Rethinking Incarceration Dominique Gilliard explores the history and foundation of mass incarceration, examining Christianity’s role in its evolution and expansion. He assesses our nation’s ethic of meritocratic justice in light of Scripture and exposes the theologies that embolden mass incarceration. Gilliard then shows how Christians can pursue justice that restores and reconciles, offering creative solutions and highlighting innovative interventions. God’s justice is in the long run restorative, not just punitive. Discover how Christians can take part within the restoration and redemption of the incarceration system.
