UC Santa Cruz professor Angela Davis explores the range of social problems associated with incarceration and the generalized criminalization of those communities that are most affected by poverty and racial discrimination. She urges her audiences to think seriously about the future possibility of a world without prisons and to help forge a 21st century abolitionist movement.

Her head is in the clouds, does she think "talk therapy" would work with Charles Manson? How about a "time out" for people Bundy, or Gacy? Kavika put it very well some people deserve prison,or worse.
