#AbolishPrisons

“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?

"Innocence" or "Non-Innocence" does not give colonial governments the right to kill.

1,565 people have been killed by the death penalty since 1976.

Abolish the death penalty.

[foreveryonecollective]

Reasons the death penalty is bad:

Does nothing to actually address any of the things that made it possible for the person to commit whatever crime they committed

The only form of legal sentence that can't possibly be argued to be anything other than punitive

Requires an assumption that some organisation or group of people can be trusted to decide who in society deserves to die

Contributes to normalising state violence

Grants the state powers which are guaranteed to be abused

Not reasons why the death penalty is bad:

"It's being carried out by the state instead of by us" (This is not a reason why it's bad because you'll notice it doesn't actually criticise the death penalty, it just sounds like it does)

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.
