This collection documents the efforts of the Prison Communication,
Activism, Research, and Education collective (PCARE) to put
democracy into practice by merging prison education and activism.
Through life-changing programs in a dozen states (Arizona,
Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin), PCARE works
with prisoners, in prisons, and in communities to reclaim justice
from the prison-industrial complex. Based on years of pragmatic
activism and engaged teaching, the materials in this volume present
a sweeping inventory of how communities and individuals both within
and outside of prisons are marshaling the arts, education, and
activism to reduce crime and enhance citizenship. Documenting
hands-on case studies that emphasize educational initiatives,
successful prison-based programs, and activist-oriented analysis,
Working for Justice provides readers with real-world answers based
on years of pragmatic activism and engaged teaching. Contributors
are David Coogan, Craig Lee Engstrom, Jeralyn Faris, Stephen John
Hartnett, Edward A. Hinck, Shelly Schaefer Hinck, Bryan J. McCann,
Nikki H. Nichols, Eleanor Novek, Brittany L. Peterson, Jonathan
Shailor, Rachel A. Smith, Derrick L. Williams, Lesley A. Withers,
Jennifer K. Wood, and Bill Yousman.
