I occasionally get e-mails from people who ask me about how prison abolition looks in practice. I have decided to share some examples here today.

Critical Resistance is one of the organizations that is actively operationalizing the concept of prison abolition:

Vikki Law does an excellent job of providing an overview of community-based alternatives for addressing harm. These models of intervening when harm occurs can and should form the basis of prison abolition.

Finally, the great Angela Davis brings it home as she asks us to re-imagine our ideas and understanding of “justice.”
