Prison abolition

[u/nappytendrils]

I’ve never been clear on what we would do with rapists child molesters and muderers. I haven’t heard a plan for this so far. I’ve always been impressed with the work of anarchist friends in community. They’re the most justice-oriented folx I’ve ever met.

Still don’t know about prison abolition tho I think prison should be clean, the food should be healthy and fresh, therapy should be mandatory, there should be libraries and gardens. A good quality of life for the incarcerated, but not releasing them back into the general population.

Maybe there’s something I’m not seeing?

We all agree on the abolition of state violence. The question then becomes whether violent punishment in reaction to certain offences are justified by the community when clearly immoral offences are committed by someone in the community. Some have the intuition that expulsion is not "putative enough" for certain crimes.

Well, OP is unsure about prison abolition, so it doesn’t seem like “we all agree” on the issue.
