But despite growing movements for change, the vast machinery of the carceral state remains very much intact. How can its damage and depredations be undone? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this pathbreaking reader, three of the nation's leading advocates--Premal Dharia, James Forman Jr., and Maria Hawilo--provide us with tools to move from despair and critique to hope and action. \u003ci\u003eDismantling Mass Incarceration\u003c\/i\u003e surveys various approaches to confronting the carceral state, exploring bold but practical interventions involving police, prosecutors, public defenders, judges, prisons, and even life after prison. Rather than prescribing solutions, the book offers a forum for discussions--and disagreements--about how to best confront the harms of mass incarceration. The contributors range from noted figures such as Angela Y. Davis, Clint Smith, and Larry Krasner to local organizers, advocates, scholars, lawyers, and judges, as well as people who have been incarcerated. The result is an invaluable guide for anyone who wishes to understand mass incarceration--and hasten its end.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePremal Dharia\u003c\/b\u003e is the executive director of the Institute to End Mass Incarceration at Harvard Law School and is coeditor in chief of \u003ci\u003eInquest\u003c\/i\u003e.
