520 $aSensible Justice explores creative solutions some states and cities nationwide have devised to tackle America's expensive and controversial prison problem.
520 8 $aFormer Wall Street Journal and New York Times editor David Anderson spent a year touring the world of "alternative sanctions" that substitute for prison, including work to repay the community or earn restitution for victims; house arrest under high-tech electronic supervision; the military routine of correctional "boot camps;" and counseling for drug addicts and sex offenders.
520 8 $aAlternative sanctions - some thriving quietly even in conservative states where headlines feature harsh law-and-order rhetoric - are demonstrating that rehabilitation works, while saving taxpayers millions of dollars. Just as importantly, Anderson writes, by reinforcing an ethical society's basic values, these programs allow communities to make sense of criminal justice.
