"""A brilliant and profound analysis of mass criminalization as a religion, charting new territory in our understanding of this social injustice. This account of eurochristian desire for God-like power in the world constituting an unholy trinity of whiteness, property, and policing that criminalizes the disinherited and dispossessed deserves the widest possible reading…A gift for those looking to understand the persistence of mass criminalization as well as a compelling invitation to build a world beyond it."" -- Christophe Ringer, author of Necropolitics: The Religious Crisis of Mass Incarceration in America ""Andrew Krinks is a committed and passionate organizer and organic intellectual immersed in the world of abolitionism. In this eloquent, compelling book, he investigates the conceptual foundations of our current prison culture. Weaving sophisticated accounts of racial, economic, gender, and political domination together with the history of Christianity, Krinks successfully makes the case that we ought to understand mass incarceration as a distinctively religious phenomenon. He also makes justice-seeking resources of religion available to everyone affected by mass incarceration as we work toward a world free of human caging."" -- Vincent Lloyd, co-author of Break Every Yoke: Religion, Justice, and the Abolition of Prisons"
