Ernest Drucker's A Plague of Prisons takes the same concepts and tools of public health that have successfully tracked epidemics of flu, tuberculosis, and AIDS to make the case that our current unprecedented level of imprisonment has become an epidemic. Drucker passionately argues that imprisonment?originally conceived as a response to the crimes of individuals?has become mass incarceration: a destabilizing force, a plague upon our body. 0aImprisonmentzUnited States. 4aEncarcelamiento zEstados Unidos 0aImprisonmentxSocial aspectszUnited States. 4aPrisión xAspectos socialeszEstados Unidos 0aCriminal justice, Administration ofxSocial aspectszUnited States. 4aAdministración de justicia penalxAspectos socialeszEstados Unidos
