    that is a really great thing of Amy’s parents to forgive them but i still dont feel any of the solutions given are strong enough where we would no longer need prisons as a whole.

    I 100% agree with tackling the inequality in impoverished areas and decriminalising sw, drug use and communities esp communities of colour but i feel like even though tackling these issues would significantly reduce most crimes, i dont feel any of it is strong enough to stop men and the way they view women because its so incredibly ingrained into society i dont know how we’d fully remove misogyny from society where women dont get murdered and raped and those evil people need to be removed from society where they would just continue to harm more women because fundamentally they just do not care about women.

    As at the Ford Center, family members also should be permitted to participate. But unlike the Betty Ford program, they should be free of charge.

    Alternatives that fail to address racism, male dominance, homophobia, class bias, and other structures of domination will not, in the final analysis, lead to decarceration and will not advance the goal of abolition.

    Unless the current structures of violence are eliminated from schools in impoverished communities of color—including the presence of armed security guards and police—and unless schools become places that encourage the joy of learning, these schools will remain the major conduits to prisons.

    What, then, would it mean to imagine a system in which punishment is not allowed to become the source of corporate profit?
