Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Mass incarceration policies have led to a significant increase in the number of people being sent to prison, resulting in prison overcrowding. This overcrowding can lead to unsafe and inhumane living conditions for inmates, as well as increased strain on the correctional system. The other options are not necessarily outcomes of mass incarceration policies.
