Philosophy Imprisoned

Editors Sarah Tyson and Joshua M. Hall convene an international group of philosophical thinkers—from both inside and outside prison walls—who draw on a variety of historical figures and critical perspectives to think about prisons in our new historical era. Some contributors are incarcerated, while others teach in prisons, but all have been students of both philosophy and the carceral system. Thus, the book concerns not only philosophers and prison theorists generally, but also prison reformers and abolitionists.
