This book powerfully makes the case for the end of prisons, punishment, and guilt and, instead, suggests we work towards social change, care, collectivity. The book weaves together Lesage deLa Haye's own experiences--in prison, as a psychiatrist, and as a social theorist--with the simple argument that, if we take the reasons for prison and punishment at their word, we must evaluate the system as a complete failure. So then why continue to support it and funnel money into it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"AK Press","offers":[{"title":"Abolition of Prison | Jacques Lesage de la Haye | Paperback | 9781849354202 | New | Politics 1281905","offer_id":50550628385026,"sku":"1281905","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/41l5KylwWXS.jpg?v=1790470638","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/abolition-of-prison","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
