Viac o knihe

The book critiques the penal system, arguing that prisons perpetuate crime rather than rehabilitate offenders. It highlights the cyclical nature of incarceration, where released individuals often lack support, skills, and hope, leading to a high likelihood of reoffending, often with more severe crimes. Kropotkin's insights remain relevant nearly a century later, emphasizing the need for reform in how society addresses crime and punishment.
