Description
With her characteristic brilliance, grace, and radical audacity, Angela Y. Davis has put the case for the latest abolition movement in American life: the abolition of the prison. As she quite correctly notes, American life is replete with abolition movements, and when they were engaged in these struggles, their chances of success seemed almost unthinkable. For generations of Americans, the abolition of slavery was sheerest illusion. Similarly, the entrenched system of racial segregation seemed to last forever, and generations lived in the midst of the practice, with few predicting its passage from custom. The brutal, exploitative (dare one say lucrative?) convict-lease system that succeeded formal slavery reaped millions to southern jurisdictions (and untold miseries for tens of thousands of men, and women). Few predicted its passing from the American penal landscape. Davis expertly argues how social movements transformed these social, political, and cultural institutions, and made such practices untenable.
In Are Prisons Obsolete?, Professor Davis seeks to illustrate that the time for the prison is approaching an end. She argues forthrightly for "decarceration," and argues for the transformation of the society as a whole.

Buying the paperback now too
Dr Angela Y Davis’ words are powerful, pointant, and relevant to today for the work that needs to be done/reimagined within prisons, education and overall restorative justice.

Thought Provoking
A radically thought provoking work - whether you agree or not with her conclusion, her premise and the detailed research that went into it is carefully considered and explained. I really enjoyed listening to this book!
though I originally thought her reading was a little slow, I came to appreciate her cadence, which allowed me to listen carefully and think through what she was saying.

A deep analysis and a call to hope
Prisons are indeed obsolete—ethically and logically. Prisons failed to address the social issues it created and claimed to solve. This is a foundational text in reimagining how we can transform harm through reparative justice.
