Decarcerating Disability

Decarcerating Disability offers a compelling exploration of the historical and ongoing processes of deinstitutionalization, connecting them to broader prison abolition efforts. Liat Ben-Moshe presents case studies that challenge misconceptions about deinstitutionalization's impact on incarceration rates and highlights resistance and coalition-building across various sectors. The book also examines how deinstitutionalization intersects with issues of racial desegregation and critiques current disability rights strategies, providing a nuanced perspective on liberation and inclusion.
