Decarcerating Disability: Deinstitutionalization and Prison Abolition

Liat Ben‑Moshe provides case studies that show how prison abolition is not an unattainable goal but rather a reality, and how it plays out in different arenas of incarceration‑antipsychiatry, the field of intellectual disabilities, and the fight against the prison‑industrial complex. Her analysis of lived experience, history, and culture charts a way out of a failing system of incarceration.
