Wow. It's almost like DOC bought an ad in the Globe.
The Editorial Board is wrong and willfully ignorant.
1) The Moratorium would not stop renovations or repairs. bit.ly/moratoriummemo

3) The Ripples report has been rejected & delegitimized by everybody but DOC - including researchers:
And PLS: plsma.org/new-report-pro…
& of course us as formerly incarcerated and directly affected women - including women who have lived inside Framingham

4) Ripples Report got basic facts about the criminal legal system wrong - like claiming Primary Caretakers, a law that allows parents to ask for community-based sentences, never passed.
It's a bad joke that you've made the basis of the Board's opinion

I was recently a guest on More Life: The Reentry Podcast and asked to discuss person-centered language: tinyurl.com/bddw5z43. To me, being person-centered transcends language. It's about centering humanity when we discuss the U.S. carceral system and its impacts

In 2019, I was tasked by @PrisonersFC to explore person-centered language for the Advocacy in Action Coalition. For the white paper, linked here, we interviewed formerly incarcerated people, activists, and people who have had loved ones incarcerated. tinyurl.com/3xjfyjrw
In the white paper, we explore “crime-focused labels” and present humanizing alternatives. We also note that it is important to empower through choice. One activist I spoke with identified as a prison survivor because of the profound impacts incarceration had on her life.

abolition is an everyday practice. It opens up so much possibility. Prisons are not sites of accountability. What about the murderers and rapists? Welp, the current system does not stop murder and rape. #RebLawAu
abolition stands counter to reformism, says Alison Whittaker. Reformist changes try to change conditions in prisons rather than challenging the legitimacy of prisons and carceral logics. Tinkering at the edges. #RebLawAu
