I have been doing a unit on social justice with my freshmen. One fascinating aspect of the conversation that I wasn't expecting relates to incarceration in the United States. This is a growing phenomenon, from 250,000 to 2.5 million over the last 40 years, grown from implicit bias which we can no longer ignore.

The statistics are mind boggling.
