Answer:

1) over-policing in redlined and marginalized communities, 2) longer sentencing for minor crimes and

3) endless restrictions after being released.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Incarceration rates have risen mainly because states are sending a much larger share of offenders to prison and keeping them there longer — two factors under policymakers' direct control. Reforms to reduce prison populations will need to target these two areas.
