This series has provided space for meaningful exchanges around the themes and questions in Davis's influential book Are Prisons Obsolete?  It is facilitated by educator, scholar, and Rutgers alum, Michael Anderson. He also is a facilitator with Noname Book Club, which is dedicated to uplifting POC voices. New participants are welcome to join. This fourth and final session initially addresses specific chapters, but insights about the broader scope of the book and prison abolition are also discussed. Free and open to the public, 18 and older. Registration is required. Visit the event page for more information. Terry Boddie, Prison Industrial II, 2018. Cyanotype. Courtesy of the artist.
