Beyond Bars: The Prison as Modern Slavery
Imagine a world where prisons don't exist. This thought experiment feels almost impossible for most of us - prisons seem as inevitable as hospitals or schools. Yet Angela Davis's "Are Prisons Obsolete?" challenges this very assumption. Since its 2003 publication, this slim but powerful volume has become foundational to the prison abolition movement, influencing generations of activists and scholars. Davis, who spent 16 months as a political prisoner before being acquitted of all charges in 1972, brings both personal experience and scholarly rigor to her analysis. What makes this work so compelling is how it forces us to question something we've been conditioned to accept as natural and necessary: the prison itself.
