Description
Angela Y. Davis argues that the time for prisons is approaching an end. For generations, social movements have transformed institutions like slavery and segregation, making such practices untenable. In "Are Prisons Obsolete?", she makes the case for "decarceration" and a broader transformation of society. The author expertly examines how social movements have challenged and changed the prison system, ultimately rendering it obsolete. Davis's forthright argument is that the current system is no longer tenable and must be transformed. By exploring the history and impact of prisons, Davis makes a compelling case for a new approach to justice and punishment.
