Are Prisons Obsolete?, by Angela Y. Davis

4.0

I approached my prison abolition education a little backwards & if I had to do it again, this would be the first book I’d read. Excellent primer on prison abolition, with answers to all of your inevitable questions. There isn’t one clean answer! Abolition doesn’t mean replacing prison with one direct alternative. Abolition takes empathy, hard work, critical thinking, and stamina, and it’s worth it.
