“An incredibly important and useful introduction to mass incarceration in the U.S. The authors’ creative combination of visual and textual information helps highlight both the starkness and the breadth of the issue–from the historical, political and economic foundations to the exponential increases in prison populations in recent decades; the long-term impacts of incarceration on marginalized communities to breaking down the possible pathways to change. And threaded throughout are the voices and creativity of those most impacted. A beautiful and powerful presentation of an important issue, and truly a “primer” on how to get started in advocating for change.”
