A variety of issues will be explored including, disparities in criminal punishment and sentencing, the role of prediction in the assignment of criminal penalties, and whether allowing inmates to earn {"}good time{"} is a good sentencing policy. Additionally, the unintended consequences of an overreliance on prisons for punishment are also explored.",
