Inspirational! This book really provides a good case for prison abolition. What I appreciated most was the agency of the prisoners that the author allowed to shine through. A must-read for anyone interested in the prison-industrial complex and/or social change!!!

In 1971, Attica’s prison yard massacre shocked the public, prisoners, and political leaders across the United States. Massachusetts residents pledged to prevent such slaughter from ever happening there, and the governor agreed. Thus began a move for reform that eventually led to the prisoners at Walpole’s Massachusetts Correctional Institute winning control of its day-to-day operations.
