Do prisons keep women safe? Should feminists rely on policing and the law to achieve women's liberation? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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 Gwenola Ricordeau argues, does not make women safer: it harms women, including victims of violence, and in particular people of color, poor people, and LGBTQ people. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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.
