A multi-discipline, multimedia guide to abolition through the lens of healthcare and medicine - featuring writings and artwork from 10+ incarcerated and post-detention activists

Exposing how marginalized communities are vilified by carceral safety systems, educators and health justice advocates Carlos Martinez and Ronica Mukerjee call for a radical break with reformist strategies in favor of ones grounded in grassroots organizing and abolition

Prisons, border security, and police forces are meant to protect. Yet for the most vulnerable, they more often cause harm. Funded in response to a never ending crime wave, people with disabilities, Black and brown people, trans and queer people, people with mental health diagnoses, and survivors of trauma and abuse are targeted by punitive carceral policies. These policies perpetuate physical, psychological, and intergenerational harm. And they don't keep anyone safe.

All This Safety is Killing Us reflects this view, combining political strategy with evidence-based medical and social science research to envision a post-carceral society.

With contributions from scholars, activists and artists, All This Safety is Killing Us marks a radical break from punitive frameworks. Special features include:

  • Contributions from nurses, doctors, doulas, public health workers, physical therapists, acupuncturists, and disability justice workers.
  • Woodcuts, comics, mini-zines, infographics, and drawings by community activists, queer and trans/gender expansive-focused writers, current prisoners, deportees, and survivors of state-sanctioned violence.
  • Interviews with leading abolition and health justice scholars.
