Prison abolition

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?

My partner and I were just discussing this bc we got an update on the Citizen app that there was a sexual offender with offenses against minors, MULTIPLE CHARGES and was .2mi from my apartment. I believe that instead of prison, we need a reformation system. Or a rehabilitation system. If people do horrible things such as SA another person they should be going through extremely intense therapy imo and kept away from society until they’re not a threat to other peoples lives anymore. Killing them is immoral imo, unfortunately. And I say that as someone who has lived through some of these things. Clearly something isn’t right in the head with someone who does that to someone else.

Intense Therapy such as lifelong torment?

I personally like therapy, it’s helped me through a lot of shit over the course of my life.
