It was such an incredible pleasure to see you all at the Group’s conference in Malmö. A true abolitionist earthquake, a space to flourish, think, organise, conspire and act against the global punitive culture! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

We rally against gendered violence. Why are we silent about prisons?
If we are serious about ending violence against women, we must demand an end to the prison system that disappears and brutalises them.

Friends of mine have edited an important book on punishment in Latin America bookstore.emerald.com/punishment-i...
Punishment in Latin America
Challenging the Northern-centric approach that has dominated the literature on punishment-and-society, this collection draws on innovative theoretical perspectives to make sense of punishment, penal trends, institutions and practices in peripheral settings, taking Latin American countries as its case studies.
