Abolitionist Intimacies

In Abolitionist Intimacies, El Jones explores the movement to end prisons through the lens of Black feminist principles of care and collectivity. She examines how state institutions and practices, including prisons, policing, and social services, often entwine with violence and control, yet emphasizes how intimacy and relationship-building remain vital to struggle for justice and liberation. Drawing on personal experience and poetic expression, Jones presents abolition as both a political movement and an act rooted in love and commitment.
