( Rising crime rates and the War on Drugs in the 1990’s led to tough-on-crime policies and mandatory sentences that resulted in soaring prisoner populations and new prisons to hold them. Today, nearly 2.5 million Americans are behind bars. Over half are parents of minor children. More than 65 million people (20% of the country) have criminal records. The majority of incarcerated people are from racial and ethnic minorities and/or lower socioeconomic classes. For example, almost 40% of U.S. prisoners are African-American, despite making up only 13% of the general population. Many prisons are overcrowded and poorly supervised, leaving inmates subject to abuse from guards and other prisoners. When people are released from prison, they face many obstacles and are less likely to be able to find steady employment. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the annual cost of operating prisons, jails, parole, and probation in the United States is $81 billion. Prison reform now has bipartisan support in the U.S., even though conservatives and liberals have different reasons for supporting it. Since 2007, 35 states have undertaken prison reform by changing sentencing laws and corrections policies)
