According to Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) 'Laws are like cobwebs,
which may catch small flies, but let wasps and hornets break
through.' Connecting the politics of abolition to wider
emancipatory struggles for liberation and social justice, this book
argues that penal abolitionism should be understood as an important
public critical pedagogy and philosophy of hope that can help to
reinvigorate democracy and set society on a pathway towards living
in a world without prisons. For Abolition draws upon the socialist
ethics of dignity, empathy, freedom and paradigm of life to
systematically critique imprisonment as a state institution
characterised by 'social death'.
