Should GPS be banned? Or are there policy guidelines that would make it "just"?]]> 2021-08-01 18:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/theriles89/Bookmarks/wish/1666007573 theriles89 https://padlet.com/theriles89/Bookmarks/wish/1848523353 How would you define "carceral feminism" to someone outside this class?

Secondly, why don't we value rehabilitation? ]]> 2021-10-27 23:47:12 UTC https://padlet.com/theriles89/Bookmarks/wish/1849670551 https://padlet.com/theriles89/Bookmarks/wish/1849670641 “The overwhelming problem for people inside prison is not that their labor is super exploited; it’s that they’re being warehoused with very little to do and not being given any kind of programs or resources that enable them to succeed once they do get out of prison.”]]> 2021-10-27 23:47:16 UTC https://padlet.com/theriles89/Bookmarks/wish/1849670641 https://padlet.com/theriles89/Bookmarks/wish/1849673142 Given a political environment that requires politicians to adopt a “tough-on-crime” stance, how can less punitive strategies be communicated to be more favorably received? ]]> 2021-10-27 23:48:57 UTC https://padlet.com/theriles89/Bookmarks/wish/1849673142 https://padlet.com/theriles89/Bookmarks/wish/1849675338 How can we move away from punishment if its economically viable? (as capitalism dictates that is the only thing that matters)]]> 2021-10-27 23:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/theriles89/Bookmarks/wish/1849675338 https://padlet.com/theriles89/Bookmarks/wish/1849676350 One powerful phrase from the interview was that "Abolition means not just the closing of prisons but the presence, instead, of vital systems of support that many communities lack." To make change, policymakers need to invest in and support local communities. ]]> 2021-10-27 23:51:11 UTC https://padlet.com/theriles89/Bookmarks/wish/1849676350 https://padlet.com/theriles89/Bookmarks/wish/1849676674 Two takeaways: 

1. The necessitation of dealing with violence: The article highlights the need for those who engage in abolition work to deal with the fact that many people who are incarcerated have committed violence against another person, and that centering non-violent offenders in conversations about reform and/or abolition, we in a sense move farther away from the goals of ending systemic oppression

Can it be leveraged/overcome to provide more rehabilitative supports to improve outcomes for individuals who have been incarcerated? ]]> 2021-10-27 23:51:36 UTC https://padlet.com/theriles89/Bookmarks/wish/1849676925 https://padlet.com/theriles89/Bookmarks/wish/1849678070 2. Myths meant to help: The Gilmore profile mentions the overrepresentation of non-violent/drug offenders or the centering of private prisons as myths that are perpetuated often by those seeking to change the system, but which hold back the cause as a whole. I liken this to many of the tropes that are common in reproductive rights work, where it's common to hear arguments boiled down to "my body my choice" or "no one is pro-abortion, they're pro-choice" both of which detract from achieving reproductive justice]]> 2021-10-27 23:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/theriles89/Bookmarks/wish/1849678070 https://padlet.com/theriles89/Bookmarks/wish/1849678883 when we relabel everything as trafficking, it takes the nuance and power away from different types of victimization and lumps together a vast array of sexual behaviors.

It exoticizes and stereotypes sex based crimes causing society to turn a blind eye on domestic victimization of women domestically while failing to differentiate from individual sex work.]]> 2021-10-27 23:52:56 UTC https://padlet.com/theriles89/Bookmarks/wish/1849678883
