Summary:
From Mariame Kaba, New York Times-bestselling author of "We do this ‘til we free us," and social worker Jane Ball comes a powerful book showing the harm that prisons cause and exploring alternatives, illustrated by Olly Costello. On a moonlit road, tucked away from prying eyes, a child sees a prison complex-- cinder blocks, watch towers, barbed wire. Page by page, we come to see the prison as a child sees it. Prisons hurt people and leave them lonely, without loved ones to comfort them or lend a listening ear. As dandelion stars float up in the air, this dreamscape becomes a hope-scape, where love transcends the prison walls. All the families and friends of the people in the prison march and protest in beautiful song, march together to a new way and a new dawn-- in this case a cooperative housing and community center, next to a neighborhood greenhouse for restoration and healing. A new world, where connection and repair are fundamental, and even tangible, as people around a table quilt messages, “I hear you. I’m sorry for what I did. How can I make it better?” In "Prisons must fall," Mariame Kaba, a longtime activist, together with co-author Jane Ball, present solutions that do not involve incarceration, such as meeting people’s basic needs, restorative justice, and community support-- seeds for a safe world.
