This chapter discusses the problems associated with concentrated incarceration. It discusses the increase in prison population and suggests that incarceration does more damage than good, including increases in crime. It also argues that incarceration has become part of its own dynamic and that it has grown to the point that it now produces the very social problems on which it feeds. It contends that it is not possible to reform sentencing procedures without reconceptualizing the correctional project itself.Less

This chapter investigates the make-up of the rioting crowds, including analysis of the gender, ages, birthplaces and occupations of rioters and others linked with the riotous outbreaks, and also examines the job competition and attitudes towards links between black and white people. Fourteen black and white women were named among the rioters and related persons influenced in some way by the seaport rioting. There were 155 male black and Arab rioters, and 80 male white rioters. White rioters came from a range of unskilled urban occupations and were not predominantly seafarers. It is also shown that certain members of the white crowds were well prepared to escalate trouble whenever it erupted. The sentencing procedure exhibited that black male rioters were more likely to be imprisoned than their white male counterparts.Less
