3 Positions Against Prison – AudioZine
from Resonance: An Anarchist Audio Distro · host Resonance
This zine offers an excellent critique of prisons, arguing that prison is not just a physical site but also a condition that exists within society. Specifically, it offers a solid analysis of prison abolition, arguing that in seeking to “shrink” the prison industrial complex, abolitionists often end up replacing prison with other less brutal institutions. Consequently, prison doesn't disappear but rather its mechanisms – surveillance, militarization of the police, etc – spread throughout society.
