Changes in the American religious landscape enabled the rise of mass incarceration. Religious ideas and practices also offer a key for ending mass incarceration. These are the bold claims advanced by Break Every Yoke, the joint work of two activist-scholars of American religion. Once, in an era not too long past, Americans, both incarcerated and free, spoke a language of social liberation animated by religion. In the era of mass incarceration, we have largely forgotten how to dream-and organize-this way. To end mass incarceration we must reclaim this lost tradition. Properly conceived, the movement we need must demand not prison reform but prison abolition. Break Every Yoke weaves religion into the stories about race, politics, and economics that conventionally account for America's grotesque prison expansion of the last half century, and in so doing it sheds new light on one of our era's biggest human catastrophes. By foregrounding the role of religion in the way political elites, religious institutions, and incarcerated activists talk about incarceration, Break Every Yoke is an effort to stretch the American moral imagination and contribute resources toward envisioning alternative ways of doing justice. By looking back to nineteenth century abolitionism, and by turning to today's grassroots activists, it argues for reclaiming the abolition "spirit."

No matter how it may sound, no evil yoke is good for anything. Satan has bound billions of people in yokes of different types and degrees. The yoke that the devil lays on humanity is what is called an evil yoke. I have only looked out five of those yokes in details. Ranging from yoke of transgression to yoke of the Jaw, the devil is busy, killing, stealing and destroying. Other types of yokes include: yoke of the youth, yoke of bondage, the yoke of unbelief and the yoke of the wood. These yokes as Jesus describes them are heavy and burdensome. No one under any evil yoke can prosper or live a victorious Christian life on earth. In my several decades in ministry, I have seen and witnessed several evil yokes that Satan has laid on people. But there is good news: Jesus breaks yokes! No matter the type of yoke you have been struggling with, Jesus, the yoke-breaker will take it off from you and grant you rest. I urge you to read this book prayerfully. More so, give your life to Christ if you have not done so; and rededicate your life to Him if you have backslidden. There are prayers on diverse types of yokes that if you pray, God will deliver you. I recommend that you add fasting to those prayers as well as pray at midnight. As you read, may the Lord break every yoke in your life, no matter how strong, how long or how small in Jesus name. Amen!

In the early 1810s, North Carolina Quakers used a vagary in North Carolina law to protect slaves under their care and provide them with as much education and training as the law would allow. By 1826, these anti-slavery advocates took steps to give these ex-slaves, approximately 2,000, opportunities for freedom outside the South or to remain under the care of the North Carolina Yearly Meeting. By 1830 the Manumission Society had completed this task and went on to attempt to convince the North Carolina Legislature to abolish slavery, to little effect. About half of the Manumission Society delegates left the state for Indiana, where they continued to work for freedmen and abolition.
