A leading advocate for prison abolition and transformative justice shares insights from the author's firsthand experiences of growing up in a violent neighborhood and surviving a brutal incarceration.
Peterson grew up in 1980s Crown Heights, raised by Trinidadian immigrants. Amid the routine violence that shaped his neighborhood, he saw the specter of the American dream opening up before him. But in the aftermath of immense trauma, he participated in a robbery that resulted in two murders. Nineteen, Peterson was charged, convicted and served ten years in prison. Immersing himself in anti-violence activism, education, and prison abolition work, he uncovered the ages of daily violence and trauma of poverty, and the brutality of incarceration. Peterson demands a shift from punishment to healing, and a new vision of justice. -- adapted from jacket
