Jeffrey Bellin's Mass Incarceration Nation robustly analyzes how state and federal policies have combined to drive up prison populations. Mass incarceration represents a failure of democracy, but the repressive policies of American prisons represent an even graver threat as laboratories of antidemocracy that export these policies to the body politic.

监狱是反民主的实验室

杰弗里·贝林 (Jeffrey Bellin) 的 《大规模监禁国家》 深入分析了州和联邦政策如何结合起来推高监狱人口。大规模监禁代表了民主的失败，但美国监狱的镇压政策代表着更严重的威胁，因为它是反民主的实验室，将这些政策输出到政体。
