<p>In 1985 Chicago activist Nancy Kurshan and others formed the Committee to End the Marion Lockdown (CEML). They discovered that the notorious federal prison in Marion, Illinois had started a brutal form of prisoner control: long-term, even permanent, isolation in a single cell. Her book tells the inspiring story of how the committee organized hundreds of educational programs and demonstrations to expose and abolish "end-of-the-line" prisons. By exposing the "Marion model" ("horror on steroids"), the book and their work vividly show the racist nature of the U.S. prison system and how to build a national movement to fight it. </p>
