Invisible is more than a book, it is a call to action through the art and power of dialogue. With meticulous research and captivating real-life stories, Malla sheds light on the untold stories of those impacted by the prison system - with a focus on youth incarceration, and the rising demographic of female incarceration and pregnancy within incarceration. At the end of each of the four (4) sections, there are dialogue prompts that assist readers/groups along toward understanding the complexities of this social system. The dialogue prompts assist readers/groups toward understanding the complexities of this social system -- and they walk away refreshed and enlightened! A must-read for anyone interested in social matters, community, and politics. For, our greater human and social community asks, what are the real consequences of mass incarceration?

""Prisons do not confine only individuals, they affect entire communities and cultures,"" says Malla. ""My hope is that Invisible will start a much-needed nation-wide (and global) dialogue about how we can understand ourselves better.""

Highlights of the book include:

A history of the western prison system, from Britain to the USA and Canada; A critical-thinking section to examine the origins of social constructions; Real-Life stories of individuals, focusing on children, and pregnant inmates; Thought-provoking section that advocates for building more awareness into justice, and reform.
