I really appreciated the emphasis on the importance of addressing trauma and how many mental illnesses arise because of prison.
I also learned a lot about the sex offender registry and Project Rose and other harmful "reforms" in regards to sex work.
I do wish that there was even more about other possibilities to these harmful reforms, I thought more of the book could have focused on that.
