— Paul E. Rogers, President, American Correctional Chaplains Association "Not just another book on criminal justice systems. Beyond Prisons is a jewel, working like a finely crafted prism to illumine many features of a new paradigm for justice needed in the USA today. Scholars and teachers will value its critical yet concise introduction to enduring debates in criminal justice. Informed activists will prop this book up alongside their phones and photocopying machines for ready reference to the key issues at stake."
— Mark Lewis Taylor, Professor of Theology and Culture, Princeton Theological Seminary and author of The Executed God: The Way of the Cross in Lockdown America
"This book is the fruit of years of organizing, advocacy and reflection concerning our deeply broken criminal justice system. Magnani and Wray offer a truly radical analysis that penetrates to the roots of the crisis, challenges long-held assumptions, and imagines thoughtful alternatives. It is the finest critique of the prison-industrial complex available."
— Ched Myers, writer, theological educator and social justice organizer with Bartimaeus Cooperative Ministries in southern California.
Harmon L. Wray is Director of the Vanderbilt Program in Faith and Criminal Justice and author of Restorative Justice: Moving Beyond Punishment (General Board of Global Ministries, United Methodist Church, 2002).
