Title: Abolition Now! Ten Years of Strategy and Struggle Against the Prison Industrial Complex
Abstract: Abolition Now! Ten Years of Strategy and Struggle Against the Prison Industrial Complex is a new anthology of essays that celebrate the 10th anniversary of the first annual Critical Resistance conference, whose goal was to combat the growing Prison-Industrial Complex. The contributing activists, essayists and poets exhibit passionate and analytical analysis of the current Prison-Industrial Complex situation, its relationship to the Military Industrial Complex, media attitudes, detriments to collaborating with the state and prison abolition in general. One of the general themes is the general ignorance concerning the "domestic war on the poor and people of color." One essay argues that community policing practices, such as those outlined in Broken Windows by George L. Kelling and Catherine Coles, justify state violence and anti-vagrancy attitudes by targeting urban undesirables.
