目前的刑事定罪和监禁爆炸是前所未有的规模，范围和负面后果-直接和间接-为有色人种社区。这些宏观系统与生活在警察监督、经济边缘化和政治权利被剥夺之中的微观动态存在着关系。批判种族理论是探索当前微观和宏观不公正的种族主义和阶级基础的教学和实践指南。本文以最高法院的判决意见和政治犯/良心犯的声音作为主流文本和异议的证据，探讨了以下问题：S.法律，刑事司法，以及阶级主义和种族主义的大规模监禁;刑事司法系统和监狱工业综合体的政治经济学;微观和宏观系统中根深蒂固的不公正的交叉性;以及良心犯/政治犯在激发对微观和宏观不公正的抵抗中的作用。
The current explosion in criminalization and incarceration is unprecedented in size, scope, and negative consequences - both direct and collateral - for communities of color. These macro systems exist in relationality to the micro dynamics of living in the midst of police scrutiny, economic marginalization, and political disenfranchisement. Critical race theory is a guide for pedagogy and praxis in exploring the racist and classist foundations of current micro and macro injustices. Using Supreme Court opinions and the voices of political prisoner/ prisoners of conscience as evidence of the dominant text and the dissent, this article explores the following issues: the roots of U. S. law, criminal justice, and mass imprisonment in classism and racism; the political economy of the criminal justice system and the prison industrial complex; the intersectionality of injustices rooted in micro and macro systems; and the role of prisoners of conscience/ political prisoners in inspiring resistance to micro and macro injustice.\
