Free them all : a feminist call to abolish the prison system
Ricordeau, Gwénola2023
Books
The mainstream feminist movement has proposed 'locking up the bad men,' and called on prisons, the legal system and the state to protect women from misogynist violence. This carceral approach to feminism, activist and scholar Gwénola Ricordeau argues, does not make women safer: it harms women, including victims of violence, and in particular people of colour, poor people and LGBTQ people. In this scintillating, comprehensive study, Ricordeau draws from two decades as an abolitionist activist and scholar of the penal justice system to describe how the criminal justice system hurts women.
