This book is incredibly informative and helpful for forming a solution to prison alternatives for people getting into the prison abolitionist movement. There were a few things I did not fully agree with but Angela Davis does such a wonderful job of explaining the PIC and making abolition accessible to people who may not be in academia but want to learn more.

An important read, argued clearly and concisely. There's a reason Are Prisons Obsolete? is one of the first things recommended to starter abolitionists.
