challenging informative reflective medium-paced

i dont really feel comfortable giving this book a star rating, but it was absolutely brilliant. its incredibly well written and very informative. she fits a lot of information into a small book with accessible writing. she makes a shit ton of brilliant points, with heaps of research, evidence, and experience, and both puts into words concepts that i could never accurately express, and shares multifaceted and very intelligent points that i never would have thought of myself. all in all, highly recommend for people who have been involved with abolition for decades, baby leftists, or for anyone you're trying to radicalize

4.5

Very informative, it really made me rethink the way our entire justice system is set up. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about prison abolition, or just the US prison system in general.
