Prisons Are Not Inevitable
Season 5 Episode 43
An important outcome of prison abolition organizing is to help address the political economic geography of unfreedom. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the third piece in a six-part series titled “Abolitionist Lessons from the Prison Belt” in Inquest called “Custody and Power”, which features a conversation between Lydia Pelot-Hobbs, Judah Schept, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, and Craig Gilmore about the legal, structural, and financial mechanisms through which the carceral state organizes itself to imprison people, as well as the impact of formal and informal spheres of local and regional power on the prison industrial system, and what we learn and take away from this incredible piece in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.
