Description

Abolitionist Intimacies by El Jones explores the intersection of care and collectivity in the movement to abolish prisons. Drawing on her decade-long experience working for prison justice, Jones examines how state violence is embedded in practices of intimacy at carceral sites.

Through a nuanced analysis of the history of prisons in Canada and their relationship to settler colonialism and anti-Black racism, Jones argues that abolition is not only a political movement but also an intimate one driven by commitment and love. This book offers a powerful exploration of the ongoing struggles of prisoners for justice and liberation through the care work of building relationships and organizing with those inside.
