Angels with Dirty Faces: Three Stories of Crime, Prison, and Redemption by Walidah Imarisha

5.0

One of the most moving — and most important — books I've ever read. Masterfully weaves together the personal and the political. It confronts uncomfortable truths and asks tough questions. It's filled with hope and grace. At times, it felt like I was reading a sacred text.

I think it will be especially useful for folks who are just starting to learn about prison reform and prison abolition. It's accessible while also providing lots of breadcrumbs for further reading and research.
