#incarceraton

why i chose this paper

‘First one i opened and I saw Asian American and incarceration and that was enough. I am invested in disinfranchising (?) our criminal justice system and am very involved on campus with it through PCAP and I have numerous family members who have been or are formily incarcerated so its personal. I go to a predominately Asian American church here and being around so many people that hold that identity has made me very interested in educating myself on it more. 

Paper 

not seeing hs students as allies and having agency in their own liberation. Need to be aware in this because whatever I want to do its gonna be service related working with people and it will be easy to do this ish

identifying institutional violence in their own life (161)-

see this alot in my church like ppl don’t see sometimes that they are minorities too and also are not truly benefiting at the hands of white supremacy too (well really no one is except the ppl on top but its hard to let ppl know that) 

telling ppl about your lives when you see yourself as more privilege than the ppl interacting with or you are more privileged-

There was alot of jargon so hard to understand some stuff and its also late and im tired. 

Thousands have been profiled, criminalized and killed by the police simply for existing at the intersection of their own disability and race or indigeneity. ​ Here is the cold, hard, inconvenient truth:

Over half of those killed by law enforcement annually are people with disabilities. These murdered disabled individuals also are disproportionately Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and people of color.
