Abstract

The article examines how antiprison activists borrowed from and networked with environmental justice activists during a fight to stop construction of another new prison in California. It also suggests ways that work done during that campaign has laid the foundation for further work, both among organizers and researchers, which would strengthen both the environmental justice and antiprison movements.
