A review by jthunderrr
Are Prisons Obsolete? by Angela Y. Davis

5.0

If you vote, read this. Angela Davis is a brilliant national treasure. We read this for book club, and had some excellent discussions. This book is super accessible, and Angela powerfully weaves historical context with early 2000s happenings (the book was written in 2002-2003). Still extremely relevant. If you’re even a tiny bit intrigued about defunding the police, read this book!

Also, spoiler: YES.
