With her characteristic brilliance, grace and radical audacity, Angela Y. Davis has put the case for the latest abolition movement in American life: the abolition of the prison. As she quite correctly notes, American life is replete with abolition movements, and when they were engaged in these struggles, their chances of success seemed almost unthinkable. For generations of Americans, the abolition of slavery was sheerest illusion. Similarly,the entrenched system of racial segregation seemed to last forever, and generations lived in the midst of the practice, with few predicting its passage from custom. The brutal, exploitative (dare one say lucrative?) convict-lease system that succeeded formal slavery reaped millions to southern jurisdictions (and untold miseries for tens of thousands of men, and women). Few predicted its passing from the American penal landscape. Davis expertly argues how social movements transformed these social, political and cultural institutions, and made such practices untenable.
In Are Prisons Obsolete?, Professor Davis seeks to illustrate that the time for the prison is approaching an end. She argues forthrightly for "decarceration", and argues for the transformation of the society as a whole.

監獄的存在太根深蒂固瞭以至於人們無法想象沒有監獄的存在。究竟是為什麼人們認為剝奪瞭犯罪分子的人身自由，把他們關到監獄裏監獄外的人就能更安全呢？監獄是用來安置破壞瞭犯法分子的，但大部分人在一生中都可能偷偷犯過法，那誰被抓緊監獄的存在很大程度上就是種族主義和階級主義的瞭。監禁的私有化讓罪犯和奴隸沒什麼差彆，是沒有工會、沒有保障、沒又人身自由和尊嚴的工作機器瞭。男人犯罪被認為是犯錯誤瞭，女人犯罪被認為是瘋瞭。把因為殺害傢暴丈夫的女性抓進監獄是在變相默許和庇護男權。不要想著改革監獄，目標應該是廢除。唯有建立一個資源分配平等、人人平等的社會纔有可能做到。或許學校是一個導管，什麼時候不發達的社區裏麵的學校裏暴力不再發生瞭，纔標誌著社會進步可能發生瞭
评分“We would not be looking for prisonlike substitutes for the prison...Rather, positing decarceration as our overarching strategy, we would try to envision a continuum of alternatives to imprisonment— a justice system based on reparation and reconciliation rather than retribution and vengeance.” —-Prison abolition means social reformation.
