Reviews

After Prisons? takes on one of the most pressing questions of our time: What is to be done in the wake of mass incarceration and our historic prison building boom? The typical answer-from activists, policy makers, well-meaning scholars seizing the bi-partisan reform moment-is decarceration. But what does this look like? How does it unfold? What are its consequences? What can be done about them? Drawing lessons from the Empire State, After Prisons? is among the first major works to critically examine these questions. Beautifully written and carefully researched, this book has implications for police reform, reentry policy and practice, the closing of prisons, the future of prison towns, how and whom we jail, and how we understand crime, violence, addiction, and poverty. After Prisons? is required reading for anyone serious about understanding crime control in the United States. Three cheers for After Prisons! -- Reuben Miller, University of Michigan
