Prison by Any Other Name: The Harmful Consequences of Popular Reforms
by Maya Schenwar, Victoria Law
This book reveals how popular criminal justice reforms often replicate the harms of incarceration, expanding surveillance and control over marginalized communities.
About This Book
This book explores the unintended consequences of widely supported criminal justice reforms.
It argues that many alternatives to prison continue to impose surveillance, control, and punishment on marginalized communities.
The authors draw on research and real-world examples to show how reforms can expand rather than reduce the carceral state.
Readers will gain insight into the systemic issues that persist despite efforts at change.
