Prison by Any Other Name: The Harmful Consequences of Popular Reforms by Victoria Law, Maya Schenwar

challenging dark informative sad tense medium-paced

5.0

Learned a lot and I loved that it was interspersed with real people and real stories.

- house arrest is worse
- they have ways to track whether someone is taking medicine??
- forcing people to go into addiction treatment doesn't work, but helping it be more appealing and voluntary does
- forcing people into mental hospitals is worse
- community policing doesn't work
- putting more resource officers in schools is worse
