Short but powerful book about prisons and the problems with them.

This book counts towards the Reading Women 2021 Challenge task #3: a book about incarceration

This book is incredibly informative and helpful for forming a solution to prison alternatives for people getting into the prison abolitionist movement. There were a few things I did not fully agree with but Angela Davis does such a wonderful job of explaining the PIC and making abolition accessible to people who may not be in academia but want to learn more.
