The critiques I had of Freedom is a Constant Struggle are addressed here. Davis gives a thoroughly researched essay on the history of prisons, how gender structures the prison system, and the prison industrial complex with examples and case studies. My only regret is that she saves alternatives for the end, and I actually do wish she addressed the persistent question of “What will happen to the rapists and murderers?” Still, I think this book provides a good introduction for readers to do the ideological work of grappling with prison as a punishment system today and what a prison-less world can look like.
