Whenever I talk about abolition, someone inevitably brings up victims' rights. And I agree, people who experience violent and terrible crimes should have rights. They need care. They need therapy. They need community. They need protection.

None of which is provided by our system of cages.

The more we, as human beings, learn about how various circumstances affect the brain, the more it baffles me that anyone would support prison as a social positive. Like, all evidence shows prison does far more harm than good.

@CorvidCrone @theleftistlawyer There is justice and revenge. Justice would have criminals helped to be functioning members of society so as to not be a threat when released. Revenge is more or less the current system. “You must suffer, then you get thrown out onto the streets and figure out how to not be bad again on your own.”
