{"product_id":"prisons-must-fall","title":"Prisons Must Fall","description":"From Mariame Kaba, New York Times-bestselling author of We Do This ‘Til We Free Us, and social worker Jane Ball comes a powerful book showing the harm that prisons cause and exploring alternatives, gorgeously illustrated by Olly Costello.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrisons, they do no good.\u003cbr\u003eThey do not help. \u003cbr\u003eThey do not teach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn a moonlit road, tucked away from prying eyes, a child sees a prison complex—cinder blocks, watch towers, barbed wire. Page by page, we come to see the prison as a child sees it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrisons hurt people and leave them lonely, without loved ones to comfort them or lend a listening ear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs dandelion stars float up in the air, this dreamscape becomes a hope-scape, where love transcends the prison walls. All the families and friends of the people in the prison march and protest in beautiful song, march together to a new way and a new dawn—in this case a cooperative housing and community center, next to a neighborhood greenhouse for restoration and healing. A new world, where connection and repair are fundamental, and even tangible, as people around a table quilt messages, “I hear you. I’m sorry for what I did. How can I make it better?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Prisons Must Fall, Mariame Kaba, a longtime activist, together with co-author Jane Ball, present solutions that do not involve incarceration, such as meeting people’s basic needs, restorative justice, and community support—seeds for a safe world. Illustrator Olly Costello provides textured images of a global majority community and a grey, monotone backdrop that is overtaken by joyful colors. A gentle but effective addition to all social justice bookshelves and libraries.
