Product Information
Author and journalist Victoria Law dissects the complicated history of mass incarceration by identifying the myths that propel, sustain, and maintain it. Tackling the misinformation entrenched in "tough on crime" policies, public panic fueled by claims of crime and violence, and fearmongering that perpetuates the criminalization of Black and Latinx people, Law demonstrates that without addressing race and racism, we can't talk about mass incarceration, let alone dismantle it.

Reviews
"Convincing, creatively effective arguments for the dismantling of mass incarceration." -- Kirkus Reviews "Law has offered us a very important tool. Her careful and accessible analysis, her feminist approach, and her methodical demystification of widely held views about incarceration enable precisely the kind of understanding we need at this moment." --Angela Y. Davis, Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of California, Santa Cruz "Law brilliantly uses facts, figures, and moving and enraging stories from incarcerated people to bring to light important and misunderstood facets of our singularly massive criminal legal system. . . . An essential book that demands attention and action." --Piper Kerman, author of Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison "In this timely, powerfully persuasive, and relevant book, Law looks at some of the most damaging myths and misconceptions about mass incarceration. This is a must-read for those interested in the truth about mass incarceration and solutions to address it." --Talitha LeFlouria, author of Chained in Silence "Think you haven't fallen prey to the myths around mass incarceration? Think again. . . . This is the book we need, as movements sweep across the US challenging injustices in policing and incarceration, to show us our history, analyze our current policies, and chart the way forward." --Jeanne Theoharis, author of A More Beautiful and Terrible History, "In this timely, powerfully persuasive, and relevant book, Law looks at some of the most damaging myths and misconceptions about mass incarceration. This is a must-read for those interested in the truth about mass incarceration and solutions to address it." --Talitha LeFlouria, author of Chained in Silence: Black Women and Convict Labor in the New South "Think you haven't fallen prey to the myths around mass incarceration? Think again. Victoria Law's hard-hitting, eloquently argued book shows--for those of us who've spent years learning about mass incarceration and those coming to the subject for the first time--how many assumptions about crime and safety, about 'reform' and punishment, are misguided. This is the book we need, as movements sweep across the US challenging injustices in policing and incarceration, to show us our history, analyze our current policies, and chart the way forward." --Jeanne Theoharis, author of A More Beautiful and Terrible History "In this era of expanding awareness of the structural character of racism, Vikki Law has offered us a very important tool. Her careful and accessible analysis, her feminist approach, and her methodical demystification of widely held views about incarceration enable precisely the kind of understanding we need at this moment." --Angela Y. Davis, Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of California, Santa Cruz "Victoria Law's impressive new book, 'Prisons Make Us Safer': And 20 Other Myths About Mass Incarceration , is an important read both for new students of America's failed criminal punishment policies and for those who have been advocating for change for many years. Law uses facts, figures, and moving and enraging stories from incarcerated people to bring to light many important, often misunderstood, and sometimes overlooked facets of the United States' singularly massive criminal legal system. Law's many years of personal experience, journalism, and advocacy on behalf of criminalized people results in her focused critique and practical solutions that demand attention and action." --Piper Kerman, author of Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison, "In this timely, powerfully persuasive, and relevant book, Law looks at some of the most damaging myths and misconceptions about mass incarceration. This is a must-read for those interested in the truth about mass incarceration and solutions to address it." --Talitha LeFlouria, author of Chained in Silence: Black Women and Convict Labor in the New South
Table of Content
A Note on Language Introduction PART 1: WHAT DRIVES THE MASS INCARCERATION BOOM? MYTHS ABOUT THE CAUSE OF MASS INCARCERATION CHAPTER 1 The system of mass incarceration is flawed and not working as designed (or, A brief history). CHAPTER 2 We need prisons to make us safer. CHAPTER 3 Prisons are places of rehabilitation. CHAPTER 4 Private prison corporations drive mass incarceration. CHAPTER 5 Private corporations and profit from prison labor drive mass incarceration. CHAPTER 6 Race has nothing to do with mass incarceration (or, If people of color are disproportionately incarcerated, it's because they commit more crimes). CHAPTER 7 "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time." People need to take personal responsibility for their actions. PART 2: THE MYTHS OF PRISONS AS SERVICE PROVIDERS AND SAFETY NETS CHAPTER 8 Jails and prisons provide people with needed mental health care. CHAPTER 9 People in prison "jump the line" for life-saving medical care. CHAPTER 10 Incarceration is an effective way to get people into drug treatment. PART 3: THE INVISIBLE PEOPLE BEHIND THE WALLS CHAPTER 11 Mass incarceration only affects Black cisgender men. CHAPTER 12 Bringing up a history of abuse and violence is simply an "abuse excuse." CHAPTER 13 Mass incarceration and immigrant detention are unrelated issues that can be addressed separately. PART 4: HOW DO WE END MASS INCARCERATION? CHAPTER 14 Most people are in prison for nonviolent drug offenses. Let them out and we'll end mass incarceration. CHAPTER 15 People in prison don't resist or organize against abusive conditions. CHAPTER 16 Prisons keep us safe from murderers and rapists. CHAPTER 17 Incarceration and sex offender registries are necessary to keep our children safe. CHAPTER 18 The system is broken and we simply need some reforms to fix it. CHAPTER 19 We should make our prisons more like those in Norway. CHAPTER 20 Prisons are the only logical and evident way to address violent crime and meet the needs of victims. CHAPTER 21 Even if societal and political conditions are to blame, there's nothing we can do about it. For Further Reading Acknowledgments Notes Index
