This is one of the most beautiful and most devastating books I've ever read. I also think this is a fantastic introduction to abolition and to the horror of the US carceral system for those who know little, especially if they are unlikely to listen to abolitionists themselves. What an incredibly powerful book. I can't stop crying.
