Synopsis

Abolitionist thought visualizes a world without prisons – or a radical reduction or transformation of prisons and punishment. This fascinating book explores the abolitionist ideas of key early socialists and anarchists, showing how their ideas can assist those engaging in emancipatory struggles against penal and social injustice today.
