This project requires you to examine the criminal justice system in the U.S. Please read the three chapters of The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander that you may find in the readings folder (Unit XI: Criminal Justice System and the New Jim Crow).
After reading, create a digital presentation (for example, PowerPoint or Prezi slide) that compares US incarceration rates with that of another country in order to make a global comparison. Please try to have at least five separate slides that address this issue.
