What is Kropotkin on Prisons about?
In a speech delivered in Paris in 1877, Kropotkin critiques the prison system, arguing that it fails to prevent crime and instead perpetuates a cycle of reoffending. He advocates for the abolition of prisons, proposing that offenders should be treated with compassion and support, rather than punishment, to foster rehabilitation. Kropotkin emphasizes the need for a societal shift towards mutual aid and cooperation to address the root causes of anti-social behavior.
