Review of 'Are Prisons Obsolete?' on Goodreads
3 stars
Opens by asking why most of us feel our rights and liberties are improved by the presence of the carceral loss of the same by so many within our communities. Best read as the background starting point for later The New Jim Crow etc, proposes considering replacing much of what we expect from prison to the educational, welfare, mental services etc that insufficiently are being substituted by police and prison.
