Jailbreak: Reimagining Justice

We spend billions of dollars on police and crowded prisons but they are not keeping us safe. So, what could the world look like without them? In this edition we look at a movement that wants to abolish prisons, police, and the systems that support them, and at the same time to make them unnecessary. It is not a new movement and people often misunderstand it. We hear from people around the world who are putting abolition into action by thinking differently about justice.

From this issue:
