About the Author

L. Ben-Moshe is a distinguished scholar and author whose work critically examines the intersections of disability, incarceration, and social justice. With a background in sociology and disability studies, Ben-Moshe has dedicated their career to uncovering the systemic marginalization faced by disabled individuals within penal systems. Their seminal book, Disability Incarcerated: Imprisonment and Disability in the United States and Canada, co-edited with others, provides a groundbreaking analysis of how prisons exacerbate disabilities and perpetuate inequality across North America. Drawing from interdisciplinary research, Ben-Moshe's writing challenges policymakers, activists, and academics to rethink carceral practices through a disability justice lens, advocating for abolitionist alternatives that prioritize human rights and inclusion.
