Free Them All: A Feminist Call to Abolish the Prison System - Gwenola Ricordeau

Descriere Free Them All: A Feminist Call to Abolish the Prison System - Gwenola Ricordeau

An indispensable guide to the feminist case for prison abolition \nHow does the criminal justice system affect women's lives? Do prisons keep women safe? Should feminists rely on policing and the law to achieve women's liberation? \n \nThe mainstream feminist movement has proposed locking up the bad men, and called on prisons, the legal system, and the state to protect women from misogynist violence. This carceral approach to feminism, activist and scholar Gwenola Ricordeau argues, does not make women safer: it harms women, including victims of violence, and in particular people of color, poor people, and LGBTQ people. \n \nIn this scintillating, comprehensive study, Ricordeau draws from two decades as an abolitionist activist and scholar of the penal justice system to describe how the criminal justice system hurts women. Considering the position of survivors of violence, criminalized women, and women with criminalized relatives, Ricordeau charts a new path to emancipation without incarceration. \n \nWWith a new foreword by Silvia Federici. \n \nTranslated from the French by Tom Roberge and Emma Ramadan.\n
