While the growing movement against incarceration and policing has called to reform or abolish prisons, jails have often gone unnoticed, or in some cases seen as a \"better\" alternative to prisons.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYet jails, in recent decades, have been the fastest-growing sector of the US carceral state. Jails are widely used for immigrant detention by ICE and the U.S. Marshals and as a place to offload people that prisons can't hold. As jails grow, they transform the region around them, and whole towns and small cities see health care, mental health care, substance abuse, and employment opportunities taken over by carceral concerns. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf jails are everywhere, resistance to jails is too. The recent jail boom has sparked a wealth of local activist struggles to resist and close jails all across the United States, from rural counties to major cities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Jail Is Everywhere\u003c\/i\u003e brings these disparate voices together, with contributions from activists, scholars, and expert journalists describing the effects of this quiet jail boom, mapping the growth of the carceral state, and sharing strategies from recent fights against jail construction to strengthen struggles against jailing everywhere. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a foreword by Ruth Wilson Gilmore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Norton, Lydia Pelot-Hobbs, Judah Schept\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1804291315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804291313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/27\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/27\/2023","brand":"Jack Norton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44122651033855,"sku":"9781804291313","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_97179612-ebfb-45fb-8481-02feb136e907.jpg?v=1687426347","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-jail-is-everywhere-jack-norton-9781804291313","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
