No More Prisons

No More Prisons is a slamming critique of the politics of the prison industrial complex. Can we empower city communities through home-schooling and philanthropy? Upski points the way with fresh writing that is original, grass-roots and on point No More Prisons: A Hitchhiker's Guide to Community Organizing, Urban Life, Home-Schooling, Hip-Hop Leadership, the Cool Rich Kids Movement, and Why Philanthropy Is the Greatest Art Form of the 21st Century

PRISON INDUSTRY FACTS: *The US prison system has expanded four times since 1980 from half a million prisoners to almost two million in 20 years. * 60% of US prisoners now are non-violent offenders who could be released without endangering society. *700 new prisons have been built since 1980. Spending on law enforcement has increased by a factor of five. William Upski Wimsatt follows up his underground best-seller Bomb the Suburbs, the streetwise take on graffiti-writing, break-dancing and hip-hop! Since 1994, Upski sold approximately 22,000 copies of Bomb the Suburbs on his own, through an original hitchhiking and wheatpasting campaign to every city in North America!
