Quote of the Day… The Evil of Incarceration
I saw this recent quote which is part of a longer interview that was done with Buzz Alexander who founded the Michigan Prison Arts Project. I had to share it:
“We are looking at a national policy of mass incarceration for the purpose of social and economic control. Particular groups of human beings – sometimes referred to as a “caste” or as “the mass incarceration generation” – are dumped into incarcerating institutions and emerge so many years later that it is nearly impossible for them to function economically in their communities or as caregivers in their families. In my opinion this is a great evil”. (By Buzz Alexander)
