 * ''Erica Meiners'', Professor of education and gender and women's studies at Northeastern Illinois University, writes about "Schooling the carceral state: challenging the school-to-prison-pipeline". She believes that "it is not enough to take down prisons" (277). She advocates "building other sustainable frameworks for public safety and engaging the question of why prisons have been naturalized as responses to harm in our communities" (276). Prisons "cannot be eliminated unless new institutions and resources are made available to those communities that provide, in large part, the human beings that make up the prison population" (277).
-* [''Julia C. Oparah''] is professor and chair of Ethnic Studies at Mills College. She is maybe better known as Julia Sudbury (with a number of abolitionist publiations, in Social Justice and elsewhare). Here she deals with the Topic "Why no prisons?". She reports about the new Abolitionist movement in the USA (Critical Resistance), which holds annual metings since 1998. CR's analysis of the political economy of prisons was shaped by Linda Evans and Angela Y. Davis. "One of the most effective strategies used by Critical Resistance to win Support for the Abolition rather than reform of prisons is to Point to a continuity between slavery and contemporary incarceration" (283). But aren't there some people who really need to be locked up? CR's answers and strategies are to be found in "The Abolitionist Toolkit"(2012) [http://criticalresistance.org/resources/the-abolitionist-toolkit/]). Oparah (298) shares the activists' belief in a three step strategy of prison abolition: STOP (moratorium), SHRINK (decarceration), BUILD (alternative way to built security and address harm).

 * ''David Scott'', is Senior lecturer of criminology at Liverpool John Moores University. First of all, he makes an argument to distinguish prisons "from other sites of state detention (and other social institutions)". "Pain and the allocation of blame are the very reasons why prisons exist (Christie 1981)"(302). Scott has created the term "abolitionist compass" (in Malloch & Munro, eds. Crime, Critique and Utopia. London , 2013), a normative framework "to assist our navigation away from deeply entrenched social inequalities and the problems associated with the criminal process" 313). His "abolitionist real utopia" (315) requires "at least nine interlinked strategic objectives:
