Article Review

edit

There are many components to this page. I would suggest adding more information on the harmful effects of the prison industrial complex on black people. Also, it may be interesting to investigate whether there are similar structures in other countries that affect black people or other at risk groups. Happy editing!Naomiis (talk) 02:09, 9 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Peer Review

Overall, this article looks very well developed. There is a large amount of information given to the reader in both the history and economics sections, and at times it felt like there may have been too much information being thrown at the reader. One way I think the article could be helped is maybe trimming down in those sections. Another thing that I think could maybe help is adding sub categories under those two sections. That way, it seems like the information is broken up differently and maybe that could help guide people to the specific information people would be looking for in those mentioned sections. Other than that, I think the article is a very well written and a very interesting one. Michadea (talk) 20:59, 9 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
