Description
The Long Term Resisting Life Sentences, Working Toward Freedom by Alice Kim;Erica R. Meiners;Audrey Petty;Jill Petty;Beth Richie;Sarah Ross This powerful collection of essays sheds light on the lives of those condemned to long-term imprisonment in the United States. The authors, activists, scholars, and survivors themselves, offer a stark indictment of the prison-industrial complex and its devastating impact on poor and non-white communities. The Long Term reveals the humanity and courage of those struggling for liberation, while dismantling claims that mass incarceration keeps us safe. Instead, it proposes far-reaching reforms and radical demands for abolition, drawing on experiences from the United States and beyond. Through their work, the contributors challenge the white supremacism and patriarchy upon which the prison system rests, offering a vision of justice and freedom that is both urgent and necessary.
