Another round of terrific essays at new Inquest website

I am at risk of sounding like a broken record here as I keep blogging about the great new website Inquest, which describes itself as "a forum for advancing bold ideas to end mass incarceration in the United States."  But even though I have already flagged nearly a dozen of the great essays that were at the site before this week, I still feel compelled to add this post to spotlight these three more must-reads added this week:

From Charles Fried, "A Failure of the Imagination: Like torture and the death penalty, mass incarceration is life-destroying. And indefensible."

From Darcy Covert & A.J. Wang, "A Most Carceral Friend: The Justice Department’s top Supreme Court lawyer is far more committed to helping prosecutors win convictions and keep people locked up than to 'doing justice'."

From Colin Doyle, "The Feature Is the Bug: For all the criticism they get, algorithms can be unlikely allies in exposing deep, structural injustices that entrench mass incarceration."
