Charged by Emily Bazelon
The New Movement to Transform American Prosecution and End Mass Incarceration
A reported examination of how prosecutors wield sweeping discretion—from charging decisions to plea bargains—shaping outcomes that fuel mass incarceration. Through the stories of individual defendants and insights from inside courtrooms, it exposes the coercive power of bail and misdemeanors, the racial and economic inequities embedded in routine practices, and the rise of a reform movement that seeks accountability, alternatives to incarceration, and a justice system oriented toward fairness and public safety.
