reviewed Supermax: Controlling Risk Through Solitary Confinement on September 27, 2013

Supermax

A star for the organization and the way the content was laid out for the reader. Negative a million for the ways corrections has negatively affected vulnerable populations in this country, founded to its very roots with racism, ableism and sexism.

The only thing this book (and subsequently, the class it was associated with) made clear for me is that the Angela Davis was and continues to be correct: prisons are obsolete. Social transformation is the way forward.
