In The Incarceration Explosion, Michael Wing and Victoria Junkins expose the harsh realities of America's sprawling prison system. With millions incarcerated, the authors confront the dire consequences that ripple through society, fracturing families and perpetuating racial injustices. This urgent book dissects the disproportionate burden on people of color, driving a wedge of bias and stigma that mars the vulnerable long after release.

From Wing's unique vantage point-his personal journey from corporate president/CEO to federal prisoner-comes a poignant, unfiltered view of the prison experience and its aftermath. Through the Christian lens, Wing and Junkins call for universal action to rectify this grave injustice. Regardless of faith, ideology, or background, this is a call to uphold American ideals and mend a system in disarray.

The Incarceration Explosion is a rallying cry to confront this crisis, challenge the status quo, and work together to reclaim our country's founding principles.
