I have written quite a bit about the concept and idea of prison abolition on this blog. I still get many questions from people about it. You can read some of my previous posts about abolition here, here, and here.

For those of you who live in Chicago, you will be interested to attend a screening of a new film by Critical Resistance called “Visions of Abolition.”

The film will be followed by a terrific panel discussion.

Thursday, April 28 · 6:00pm – 9:00pm
UIC Student Center East, Cardinal Room 329
740 S. Halsted St. #10
