About this episode

if it hasn't been clear by now, Angela Y. Davis is one of my favorite writers and humans to follow when it comes to revolutionary thinking and theory. This book: are prisons obsolete, was 128 pages of information that we should all have in our back pocket - since it affects each and every one of us in some way or another. it's all connected, and Angela Y. Davis has a knack for reminding me of that while also telling me what to do with that, to improve it for all of us.
