This book was so good! Thank you to Haymarket Books for offering it for free on their website sometime last summer.
While most of the content wasn't necessarily new to me, I did appreciate it regardless, especially the chapter/essay on how pregnant people are treated by cops and the prison system.
If you're interested in reading it, please take heed of the trigger/content warnings.

Content Warnings
Graphic: Medical trauma, Police brutality, Racism, and Torture
The racism includes anti-Black, anti-Brown, and anti-Indigenous racism. The medical trauma is more like medical neglect, but I can see it going either way. The torture includes descriptions of torture and torture devices, both historically and currently.
