There is growing public consensus that the system of mass incarceration in the United States needs reform. More than 2.2 million residents (0.73%) of the United States were held in state or federal prisons or in local jails at the end of year 2010 [1]. This incarceration rate is the highest in the world, and disproportionately affects racial and ethnic minorities: 4.35% of black males were held in custody compared to 0.68% of white males in 2010.

This form of the question “Why teach?” comes from C. Higgins, The Good Life Of Teaching: An Ethics of Professional Practice, Wiley-Blackwell, 2011 (p. 9), which defends the educational importance of the self-cultivation of the teacher.
