Este livro é incrível na demonstração de como as prisões como são neste momento são obsoletas porém não nos dá soluções concretas suficientes para puder alterar uma visão do fim das penas passar pela reabilitação e não abolição.

A really useful and informative introduction to prison abolition. Davis' writing style is dense, but understandable - in less than 200 pages, she managed to convey dozens of complex ideas clearly and concisely. She has thought deeply about how the prison industrial complex interacts with a wide variety of identities, which gives the book a revolutionary and intersectional tenor that made me forget several times that she wrote this in 2003. It is still very relevant and much worth reading today.
