Too many for too long: physicians dismantling mass incarceration.

"If you are like the many people who approach us and ask, 'How do we end [mass incarceration]?', keep reading. You've come to the right place." So closes the introduction to Dismantling Mass Incarceration: A Handbook for Change, a collection of abolitionist and reformist pieces edited by Premal Dharia, James Forman Jr., and Maria Hawilo. This book review provides an overview of the main themes regarding the six aspects of the criminal legal system: police, prosecutors, public defenders, judges, prisons, and post-release. We highlight examples of the theoretical and practical takeaways from the various interviews, articles, book excerpts, and essays written by a wide range of guest authors. Ultimately, this book is critical reading for those interested in tackling mass incarceration as physicians, citizens, and concerned fellow human beings.
