  In this groundbreaking book, Dan Berger offers a bold reconsideration of twentieth century black activism, the prison system, and the origins of mass incarceration. Showing that the prison was a central focus of the black radical imagination from the 1950s to the 1980s, Berger traces the dynamic and dramatic history of this political struggle.
