“The lie that most people sent to prison are “violent offenders” is dangerous because it perpetuates the false notion that our system of mass incarceration is primarily concerned with violence and that it is well designed to keep communities safe. In fact, our system is primarily concerned with the perpetual control and marginalization of the dispossessed;”
― Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness
