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.
