Dear Friend,

American hyperpolicing and mass incarceration are products of 50 years of cynical politics, vicious economics, and unconscionable racism. Across the country, organizers on the ground are pushing to defund the police. Meanwhile, ending mass incarceration has become a standard political talking point for many people, Right, Left, and center. But what precisely would ending mass incarceration entail? To find out, read “A World Without Prisons” in the December issue of Sojourners.
