Over het boek
If we are truly to abolish police and prisons, we must first understand how they are supported. This textbook offers a blueprint for the constantly changing prison industry. Each chapter details the origin story of privatization for a new sector of the industry, how much money is in it for the corporations involved, the methods they use to extract resources from public coffers and impacted communities, which corporations are most active, and the harm they cause people, families, and communities. It also includes powerful first-person narratives that are critical to understanding the impact privatization has had on people. This text is designed to be a resource in the fight to dismantle the prison industry and build a world without it.
