In case you haven't heard, there's a massive prison strike going on in the US and in Canada from August 21 to September 9. Prisoners are striking with a list of ten demands (those demands and more info are available here: https://incarceratedworkers.org/campaigns/prison-strike-2018).
This week we decided to look at prison abolition with the help of Angela Davis, a former prisoner herself. Her book "Are Prisons Obsolete" is a really accessible and forceful presentation of the history of prisons and their internal conditions, as well as what it would mean to think about alternatives.
Solidarity to prisoners!
