🎧 In this episode, I review How to Abolish Prisons by Rachel Herzing and Justin Piché, a book that refuses blueprints and instead documents what abolition looks like in practice.
Drawing on decades of organizing in the US and Canada, the authors show how prisons are not broken institutions but deliberate political choices, and how organizers have shut them down, stopped expansions, freed people, and built alternatives under real-world constraints.
This is not an argument about belief or morality, but about responsibility, power, and pressure. Abolition, the book insists, is not a future fantasy. It is already happening, quietly, unevenly, and through struggle.
