If you’re seeking more information about prison abolition, and especially about the connections between prison abolition and theology, bibliographies can be a helpful starting place.
New on our Resources page is an abolition bibliography of texts about prison abolition, restorative justice, prison conditions/policies/reform/organizing efforts, and theology. Included in this bibliography is Lee Griffith’s The Fall of the Prison: Biblical Perspectives on Prison Abolition, perhaps the best book providing a Christian theological argument for abolition. Excerpts from The Fall of the Prison are available online.
Another helpful reading list is this Prison Abolition Syllabus from AAIHS.
See also this great collection of essays from Critical Resistance: Abolition Now! Ten Years of Strategy and Struggle Against the Prison Industrial Complex.
