The Democratic Politics of Prison Abolition
A discussion titled 'The Democratic Politics of Prison Abolition' is drawing attention, examining how prison abolition intersects with democratic theory and practice. The topic explores whether abolishing prisons is compatible with democratic governance, and how movements demanding alternatives to incarceration fit within broader political debates about justice, public safety and reform in the United States.
Why now: Ongoing public debate in the United States over criminal justice reform and abolitionist ideas keeps the subject in circulation.
