A review by inkocean
Are Prisons Obsolete? by Angela Y. Davis

4.0

This is a great little book. I gave it four stars because it largely covered material I already learned elsewhere. However, I highly recommend the book to anyone looking for information on the origins of our prison system. Davis does a splendid job covering the way that race, class, and gender intertwine with our prison system as well. A terrific introduction for anyone concerned about the outrageous state of the prison industrial complex.
