      ab: The article focuses on Alberto Ortiz Díaz's book, *Raising the Living Dead: Rehabilitative Corrections in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean*, which examines the history of rehabilitation in Puerto Rican prisons from 1917 to 1964. Ortiz highlights a progressive prison philosophy characterized by humanism and a commitment to healing, contrasting it with the later irony of mass incarceration. The book explores the evolution of rehabilitation practices influenced by various intellectual traditions, including psychiatry and social work, while addressing the racial dynamics within the prison system. Ortiz's work aims to illuminate the aspirations of correctional professionals and the broader implications of incarceration in colonial contexts, providing a foundation for future discussions on rehabilitation and agency.
