Alderson: Reclaiming the Vision

Reviews

Jailed For Justice

"...deals with everything from strip searches to meals to relationships with other inmates to pre-release planning. ...With the growing criminalization of non-violent dissent, more and more people will end up in prison. Activists, and specifically female activists in the US, should read this book." —Brian Burch, Resources for Radicals.

"This book is not a political diatribe, or a chronicle of abuses, but rather a manual of advice for others facing such detention. So don't expect James Bond here, but if you have civil disobedience in mind, this can help prepare you for the consequences."

—Piers Anthony

Conscience & Consequence

"A worthy addition to feminist prison literature...In the style of Thoreau or Nawal el Saadawi, her presentation of experiences and justification for protests is a touch of grace for the 21st-century reader. A valuable memoir for church and college libraries and for book clubs and women's studies courses."

—Mary Ellen Snodgrass, Counterpoise

"An impressive tale, alternately lyrical and horrifying, thoughtful and enraged, intensely personal yet engaged with all women."
—Marcianne Miller, Rapid River Magazine. Read more.

"..a gritty and highly readable personal account of captivity at the so-called Camp Cupcake. Alderson, once a progressive institution run and staffed by women who believed in rehabilitation, is now a cinder block wonderland of rancid peanut butter, prowling male guards and price gouging at the Commissary."

—Michael Hopping, "Living Through Shadowland"

Well Said

"We all take part in it--if you pay your taxes, you're taking part in this war. We all have a responsibility, as they determined after Nuremberg, whether you're the lowest soldier or the highest ranking general, or just a regular civilian, we all have responsibility...to resist and refuse enabling and condoning this criminal behavior."Lt. Ehren Watada

If any think that their influence would be lost [in prison], and their voices no longer afflict the ear of the State, that they would not be as an enemy within its walls, they do not know by how much truth is stronger than error, nor how much more eloquently and effectively [they] can combat injustice who [have] experienced a little in [their] own person.
-Henry David Thoreau, "On Civil Disobedience"
