The Idea of Prison Abolition
by Tommie Shelby
The Idea of Prison Abolition is based on a series of lectures by Tommie Shelby, a professor of Philosophy and of African and African American Studies at Harvard. In a way, it’s a response to the work of Angela Davis. Shelby is ultimately not on the side of prison abolition, but his exploration of the issue is well worth reading.
