Download Locked Down, Locked Out: Why Prison Doesn't Work and How We Can Do Better AudioBook Free
Through the tales of prisoners and their own families, including her own family's experiences, Maya Schenwar shows the way the institution that locks up 2.3 million Americans and decimates poor areas of color is shredding the ties that, if nurtured, could foster real collective safeness. As she vividly depicts here, incarceration eliminates the very things that may enable visitors to build better lives. But looking toward a future beyond imprisonment, Schenwar profiles community-based initiatives that successfully package with problems - both specific harm and much larger interpersonal wrongs - through connection somewhat than isolation, moving toward a safer, freer future for all of us.
