Description

Lee Griffith. Even as America’s prison system is expanding at an unprecedented rate, Lee Griffith makes a startling proposal in this book: abolish prisons. To make his case, Griffith thoroughly examines prisons from the perspectives of sociology, theology, history, & biblical exegesis. Bolstered with extensive documentation as well as lively anecdotal evidence, this compelling, radical book is bound to stir up serious discussion. Moving anecdotes drawn from Griffith’s ministerial involvement with Christian communities & his experiences as both a prisoner & a robbery victim enhance his arguments. “Griffith offers a fundamental & comprehensive critique of not only prisons but also the ideology & history undergirding them.”
