Abstract

"This Just In" piece on Ruth Wilson Gilmore, who spoke March 22 at Bates College in Lewiston. In her recently published book, "Golden Gulag," Gilmore suggests that a fundamental reason the U.S. has the highest rate of incarceration in the world is the collapse of the manufacturing economy. Given that Maine has suffered the biggest proportional collapse in manufacturing jobs of any state, we can expect to face increasing pressure on our prison system.
