Ruth Wilson and Craig Gilmore on Prisons and Neoliberalism

from Sad Francisco · host Toshio Meronek, Tofu Estolas, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Craig Gilmore

Two founders of the prison abolition movement—renowned thinkers and doers Craig and Ruth Wilson Gilmore—speak on the prison industrial complex's California roots. Also discussed: Why focusing on closing private prisons is too narrow a vision, and Gavin Newsom's campaign to put a kinder, gentler face on mass incarceration via the medicalization of imprisonment (eg. increasing conservatorship, forced rehab, and slapping the words "Rehabilitation Center" on San Quentin).
