Dismantling mass incarceration : a handbook for change / by Dharia, Premaleditor(CARDINAL)895041; Forman, James,1967-editor(CARDINAL)345970; Hawilo, Mariaeditor(CARDINAL)895040;
Includes bibliographical references."America's criminal justice system perpetuates profound social and racial harms. But despite growing recognition of its destructiveness, the vast machinery of the carceral state remains very much intact. How can its damage be undone? In this pathbreaking reader, three of the nation's leading advocates for change--Premal Dharia, Maria Hawilo, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning author James Forman Jr.--provide us with tools to move from critique to action and from despair to hope. Dismantling Mass Incarceration surveys various approaches to confronting the carceral state, exploring a wide range of bold but practical interventions. Rather than prescribing solutions, the book offers a forum for discussions--and disagreements--about how the work of police, prosecutors, public defenders, judges, and prisons can be reformed, rethought, or even abolished. The books contributors include noted figured such as Angela Y. David, Clint Smith, and Larry Krasner, as well as local organizers, scholars, lawyers, judges, and people who have been incarcerated. Dismantling Mass Incarceration is an invaluable guide for anyone who wishes to understand America's cultire of punishment--and hasten its end." --Back cover.

Prison by any other name : the harmful consequences of popular reforms / by Schenwar, Maya,author.(CARDINAL)407872; Law, Victoria,1977-author.(CARDINAL)856940;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Your home is your prison -- Locked down in ٢treatment٣ -- Confined in ٢community٣ -- Policing parenthood -- Communities as open-air prisons -- Your school is your prison -- Beyond alternatives."Electronic monitoring. Locked-down drug treatment centers. House arrest. Mandated psychiatric treatment. Data-driven surveillance. Extended probation. These are some of the key alternatives held up as cost-effective substitutes for jails and prisons. But many of these so-called reforms actually widen the net, weaving in new strands of punishment and control, and bringing new populations, who would not otherwise have been subject to imprisonment, under physical control by the state. As mainstream public opinion has begun to turn against mass incarceration, political figures on both sides of the spectrum are pushing for reform. But-though they're promoted as steps to confront high rates of imprisonment-many of these measures are transforming our homes and communities into prisons instead. In Prison by Any Other Name, activist journalists Maya Schenwar and Victoria Law reveal the way the kinder, gentler narrative of reform can obscure agendas of social control and challenge us to question the ways we replicate the status quo when pursuing change. A foreword by Michelle Alexander situates the book in the context of criminal justice reform conversations. Finally, the book offers a bolder vision for truly alternative justice practices"--
