The funding behind the carceral system has given it substantial political power in this country. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the fifth piece in a six-part series titled “Abolitionist Lessons from the Prison Belt” in Inquest called “Following the Money”, which features a conversation between Lydia Pelot-Hobbs, Judah Schept, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, and Craig Gilmore about the importance of following and interrupting the various sources of funding into the carceral system that have given it substantial political power to identify how to best organize and fight against the criminal punishment system and divert its funding to true social services, and what we learn and take away from this incredible piece in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.
