How does the criminal justice system affect women's lives? Do
prisons keep women safe? Should feminists rely on policing and the
law to achieve women's liberation? The mainstream feminist movement
has proposed "locking up the bad men," and called on prisons, the
legal system, and the state to protect women from misogynist
violence. This carceral approach to feminism, activist and scholar
Gwenola Ricordeau argues, does not make women safer: it harms
women, including victims of violence, and in particular people of
color, poor people, and LGBTQ people. In this scintillating,
comprehensive study, Ricordeau draws from two decades as an
abolitionist activist and scholar of the penal justice system to
describe how the criminal justice system hurts women. Considering
the position of survivors of violence, criminalized women, and
women with criminalized relatives, Ricordeau charts a new path to
emancipation without incarceration. With a new foreword by Silvia
Federici.
