Harm to Healing: A Pathway to Abolition

What impact on the safety of incarcerated individuals does race, gender, and sexual orientation have?

Drawing on the lived experiences of survivors of harm and incarceration and personal experience, author Felicia Carbajal reflects on the correlation between growing up and living in an underserved community and being incarcerated. Harm to Healing examines how the language of abolition impacts the lack of safety and insecurity caused by mass incarceration and envisions a prison-free world.

An eye-opening examination of the criminal justice system, this book is ideal reading for students of Carceral Studies, Criminology, Gender Studies, Queer and LGBT+ Studies, Sociology, and Cultural Anthropology.
