A review by skudiklier
Prison by Any Other Name: The Harmful Consequences of Popular Reforms by Maya Schenwar, Victoria Law

challenging informative medium-paced

5.0

Everyone should read this book. It's so thorough and detailed, and also has a long section at the end for what we *can* do. Very very helpful.
