Yet, the ALA and librarians across the profession are excluding the most significant and egregious violations of intellectual freedom and access to literature and information in our so-called free society -- the US prison system. In this essay, the author discusses the significance of carceral book banning and why libraries' interest divergence from social and prison justice movements are counterproductive and uphold systems of racial injustice. |
