RLS 254 Inside Out: Justice, Mercy, and the American Prison


3 credits

This course explores mercy and justice in the context of the contemporary American prison.  Students will examine the evolution of mass incarceration in the United States during the past half-century; the ways in which race, gender, and class are implicated in the American criminal justice system; and the theory and practice of restorative and rehabilitative forms of justice.  Note: this course will meet weekly off campus at a local prison, and will include incarcerated students.
