“The prison has become a black hole into which the detritus of contemporary capitalism is deposited. Mass imprisonment generates profits as it devours social wealth, and thus it tends to reproduce the very conditions that lead people to prison. There are thus real and often quite complicated connections between the deindustrialization of the economy—a process that reached its peak during the 1980s—and the rise of mass imprisonment, which also began to spiral during the Reagan-Bush era. However, the demand for more prisons was represented to the public in simplistic terms. More prisons were needed because there was more crime. Yet many scholars have demonstrated that by the time the prison construction boom began, official crime statistics were already falling.” ― Angela Y. Davis, Are Prisons Obsolete?

#AbolishPrisons

missing all my friends who are locked up right now and wishing i could bring them some of the sunshine from today <3 one of my friends hasn't been outside for seven years and i want. to bring her some flowers. all forms of incarceration make me so incredibly filled with rage + i wish i could burn down the psych ward + wish that my friend had the room to be mad in any way she wants to be without fear and threat and coercion.

2M+ people in cages in the land of the free. Abolition is the only future worth fighting for tbh.
