While these findings are well documented, little is known about the role of sociodemographic or contextual factors in shaping this pattern. Utilizing a quantitative intersectional framework, we analyze data from over 1000 Kentucky prison inmates who were within 12 months of their parole hearing or release date to examine the differential effects of various sociodemographic and contextual factors on perceptions of the punitiveness of regular probation, community service, and electronic monitoring (as opposed to prison) for Blacks and Whites. Findings confirm the presence of a racial gap in perceptions of the punitiveness of various alternatives to incarceration; however, results from models disaggregated by race highlight important differences in the effects of gender, parenting, and childhood locale on these perceptions. These findings demonstrate the role of various factors in shaping Blacks\u2019 and Whites\u2019 differential perceptions and reveal the contexts where these differences are most likely to be found.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2153368715603103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,14]],"date-time":"2015-10-14T22:09:04Z","timestamp":1444860544000},"page":"236-256","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Mass Incarceration Through a Different Lens"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Yasmiyn","family":"Irizarry","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David C.","family":"May","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mississippi State University, Starkville, MS, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adrienne","family":"Davis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter B.","family":"Wood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti, MI, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2153368715603103","volume-title":"The new Jim Crow: Mass incarceration in the age of colorblindness","author":"Alexander M.","year":"2010"},{"key":"bibr2-2153368715603103","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0011128793039002004"},{"key":"bibr3-2153368715603103","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12103-013-9204-8"},{"key":"bibr4-2153368715603103","volume-title":"Smart sentencing: The emergence of intermediate sanctions","author":"Byrne J.
