Unpopular post...Only in America could anyone think that a prison sentence for more than twenty years is not harsh enough. If you know anything about prison, its utterly life destroying. I hope that we can move beyond the relentless desire for punishment. We need so much more.

This book cover, y’all. 🔥🖤❤️👏 Abolition now. Gratitude, derecka

Really excited about this book I co-edited with Lydia Pelot-Hobbs and Jack Norton in which organizers from around the country discuss and analyze their fights against jail construction. The Baffler has published an excerpt of our Introduction.
