This was a reread for me…highly recommend as a starting off point as to why the prison industrial complex must be abolished, especially if you have little to no knowledge about the history of the prison system up to today. From 2003 but increasinglyyyy relevant to today. Good sources.
However abolitionist alternatives are the smallest section of this piece, so if that is what you are looking for you’ll need to branch off.
