There are few books on being a good community member and ally to parents, caregivers and children. Any group of parents will know how hard their struggles can be, but no book focuses on how childless allies can address issues of caretakers' and children's oppression in the community. Many well-intentioned activists do not interact with young people on a regular basis and do not know how, so Don't Leave Your Friends Behind provides a collection of concrete tips, suggestions and narratives to guide supporters in their work in the community.
An accessible guide for activists, educators, and all who are interested in understanding how the prison system oppresses communities and harms individuals.The United States incarcerates more of its residents than any other nation. Though home to 5% of the global population, the United States has nearly 25% of the world’s prisoners—a total of over 2 million people. This number continues to steadily rise. Over the past 40 years, the number of people behind bars in the United States has increased by 500%.Journalist Victoria Law explains how racism and social control were the catalysts for mass incarceration and have continued to be its driving force: from the post-Civil War laws that states passed to imprison former slaves, to the laws passed under the “War Against Drugs” campaign that disproportionately imprison Black people. She breaks down these complicated issues into four main parts: 1. The rise and cause of mass incarceration 2. Myths about prison 3. Misconceptions about incarcerated people 4. How to end mass incarceration Through carefully conducted research and interviews with incarcerated people, Law identifies the 21 key myths that propel and maintain mass incarceration, including: • The system is broken and we simply need some reforms to fix it • Incarceration is necessary to keep our society safe • Prison is an effective way to get people into drug treatment • Private prison corporations drive mass incarceration “Prisons Make Us Safer” is a necessary guide for all who are interested in learning about the cause and rise of mass incarceration and how we can dismantle it.
