Prison Capital: Mass Incarceration and Struggles for Abolition Democracy in Louisiana

---

Prison Capital examines the development of mass incarceration in Louisiana from 1970 to 2020 and explores the political, economic, and social forces that shaped the state’s carceral system. Lydia Pelot-Hobbs shows how policymakers expanded prisons, jails, policing, and prosecutorial power amid global economic changes, neoliberal governance, law-and-order policies, and racial and gendered moral panics surrounding crime. The book also highlights grassroots resistance and abolitionist movements, demonstrating how incarcerated people and community organizers have challenged carceral power and sought to build alternative forms of justice and democracy.
