Two prison abolitionists, Angela Y. Davis & Dylan Rodriguez, discuss how Davis's incarceration experience influenced her political views & her dedication to the antiprison movement. They also talk about imprisonment as a modern-day form of slavery, the prison abolition movement itself, & their frustration with the International Conference on Penal Abolition. They consider the history of prison & penal abolition & the relationship between prison development & prison reform. They address the need to completely rethink entrenched beliefs about criminal justice, jurisprudence, & crime. K. A. Larsen
