Answer 1

1. Butler points out to all three arguments with respect to mass incarceration. Negative impact on life due to too many arrests and locking, attack by non violent offenders after release from prison and increase in the rate of unemployment are all issues he points out as a result of mass incarceration. Therefore, we can stick on with the final option which is (d) as the right one which is a combination of all of them.
