    • 2003, Angela Y. Davis, chapter 1, in Are Prisons Obsolete?‎[1], archived from the original on 19 May 2023, page 10:
      During my own career as an antiprison activist I have seen the population of U.S. prisons increase with such rapidity that many people in black, Latino, and Native American communities now have a far greater chance of going to prison than of getting a decent education. When many young people decide to join the military service in order to avoid the inevitability of a stint in prison, it should cause us to wonder whether we should not try to introduce better alternatives.
