Captive Genders: Trans Embodiment and the Prison Industrial Complex

This book takes safety back from the language of police, prisons, and punishment, turning instead toward survivor support, community accountability, institutional critique, and long repair. It does not romanticize community response; it asks what capacities must be built when people refuse to outsource harm to state violence.

For FemRes, it complements critiques of carceral feminism, anti-sexual-violence resources, Black feminism, and disability justice. It shows abolition not only as opposition to cages, but as a project of reorganizing care, responsibility, and safety.
