"""A Seminary Co-Op Notable Book of the Year"" ""Winner of the Easton Award, Foundations of Political Thought section of the American Political Science Association"" ""The Idea of Prison Abolition is the work of a well-read, clear-headed, and sober-minded thinker, and it seldom gives good cause to disagree with its careful arguments. It will be indispensable for anyone working on its subject.""---Benjamin Ewing, Mind ""Necessary reading.""---Mike Nellis, Punishment & Society ""The time is right for a book like Tommie Shelby’s The Idea of Prison Abolition—one that closely and carefully examines, in detail and with rigor, some of the best arguments on behalf of abolishing prisons, and does so with philosophical sophistication, crystal-clear prose, and admirable breadth. ""---Jennifer Lackey, Journal of Philosophy ""A good intellectual case against abolitionism.""---Andy West, The Philosopher"
