Reviews for Forced Passages: Imprisoned Radical Intellectuals and the U.S. Prison Regime
"Guided by the voices of the prisoners, Forced Passages provides a very valuable matrix to understand what it means to live in a society with so many people behind bars. Those voices, produced in the prison struggle, bear hope." - Vijay Prashad, author of Keeping Up with the Dow Joneses: Debt, Prison, Workfare and The Karma of Brown Folk"
