Having studied where American religious history and ethnography intersects with critical theory, and written the book "Down in the Chapel: Religious Life in an American Prison," Carnegie Fellow Joshua Dubler brings a unique perspective to the issue of mass incarceration. He is currently exploring the idea of prison abolition and working on the book project “Break Every Yoke: Religion, Justice, and the End of Mass Incarceration."
"I think mass incarceration is manifestly a moral, social and economic catastrophe. This has been clear to some people for quite some time."
