Abstract

Does a system of fixed punitive rules or an adaptive system of discretionary authority better assure proportionate punishment and incarceration outcomes? Do fixed rules or discretionary interventions better avoid the social consequences of mass incarceration? This chapter leverages theoretical insights from the Public Choice tradition regarding monetary policy to inform and progress applied debates surrounding mass incarceration.
