Just an incredible, succinct and deeply powerful read that lays out how prison cannot be reformed, and how it has in fact only increased incredibly in the last 30-40 years. Davis manages to weave history, her personal experiences with the prison system, and gendered analysis of prison into a tight and deeply compelling argument that we must replace the prison system with other forms of justice that do not involve disappearing the poor and racialized. Definitely accessible and a critical read I'd recommend to anyone who has not yet encountered it before--and even if you have, I'd recommend reading it again. I know I will.
