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

challenging informative inspiring slow-paced

4.25

A must-read for police and prison abolitionists and reformers, the authors make it abundantly clear why common "kinder" alternatives to prison are really two steps back for the work of creating a compassionate society. Their argument is straight-forward and very well supported: we should be working to reduce the number of humans who are punished and confined, not expand the prison system using another name.
