Drawing on writings by Angela Davis, the George Jackson Brigade, Assata Shakur, the Weather Underground, and others, Dillon shows how these activists were among the first to theorize and make visible the links between conservative "law and order" rhetoric, free market ideology, incarceration, sexism, and the continued legacies of slavery. Dillon theorizes these prisoners and fugitives as queer figures who occupied a unique position from which to highlight how neoliberalism depended upon racialized mass incarceration. In so doing, he articulates a vision of fugitive freedom in which the work of these activists becomes foundational to undoing the reign of the neoliberal-carceral state.

Being able to receive basic medical care is also a problem for those fearful of rearrest, and neighborhood residents with tangential connections to the medical profession often fill in for trained specialists. On one occasion, Goffman witnessed a year-old having a broken bone set and sewn up by a woman who worked as a janitor in a hospital. Going to a hospital would have been too risky for the boy, who had fallen and hurt himself while running from the police.

By the end of her study, many of the people Goffman knew had died or were still in prison, although a few, including Mike, had moved away from 6th Street and were attempting to break from their pasts.
