About
Catherine Baker investigates the American prison system and seeks to answer the question: "It is true that prison is useless, but what should it be replaced with?" Baker touches on contentious topics such as proposed "reduced prison sentences" to "soften the punishment" as well as state surveillance in relation to prison abolition. Baker advocates for strengthening community and the importance of resisting social isolation. --Grace Li
