- Editorial Imprisonment Should Be a Last Resort
As Taos County leaders examine "alternatives" to pre-trial imprisonment for people charged with nonviolent offenses, it makes us wonder: What took so long? The county has been spending up to $1 million each year to keep people locked up.

- Countering Punitiveness: Understanding Stability in Canada's Imprisonment Rate
Canada's imprisonment rate has not changed appreciably since 1960. This stability contrasts with the increased imprisonment rates experienced by Canada's most obvious comparators-the United States and England and Wales. We examine this divergence and propose several interrelated explanations for Canada's anomalous pattern.

In particular, we suggest that Canadians have largely been able to escape several of the wider forces or "risk factors" at the root of higher incarceration in other countries. Further, we suggest that certain protective factors of a historical, cultural, and structural nature can also be identifie...
