You’re a prison abolitionist. You’re in a high stakes discussion where you have to answer seriously and be convincing.
Someone asks you : “yeah, but what are we to do with people breaking the law, then? What will you replace prisons with ?”
What will you answer?
Isn’t the root cause often (generational) trauma. There’s no, within lifetime, solution.
While trauma can be a life sentence in a way, that doesn’t mean it isn’t treatable. I’ll always have a brain formed/rewired by trauma but, through therapy, it no longer impairs my life enough to qualify as a “disorder”
I have diagnosed C-PTSD. But I understand it’s too late now to treat my father or grandfather.
Going prisonless seems, to me, rediculous?
