Human Rights and Incarceration Critical Explorations,Elizabeth Stanley

-Résumé

Importantly, this book does not just consider how and why human rights are eroded but what might be done in response. Contributors consider how individuals and groups have engaged and demanded rights, often in the most difficult situations.

They chart the community activism, media engagement, legal changes and international campaigning that have propelled progressive shifts for those incarcerated, and they establish useful frameworks to continue these strategies.

Beyond this, contributors reflect on how our human rights thinking and approaches can move beyond carceral options and logics. In short, they spell out some of the decarceral and abolitionist strategies that are necessary to invigorate humanity-enriched, socially just responses to the problems of crime and harms.
