alright, someone gotta explain to me how folks are saying abolish police and prisons in one breath and saying justice is arresting folks in another. am i... missing something here? almost like everyone's just saying phrases and not thinking about what they entail...

so anyways one approach to justice that i haven't seen mentioned much at all recently in conversations is transformative justice (as opposed to restorative justice, which arguably is still within a non-abolitionist framework) https://transformharm.org/transformative-justice-a-brief-description/

here's a video on transformative justice that came out just months ago, from the barnard center for research on women, where miriame kaba (yes, *that* miriame kaba) is currently at.

and a reminder to look at the work of miriame kaba when we're talking about prison abolition. i know folks are real comfortable saying they've read angela davis these days, but a reminder it's not just one person who's written on this. there's more!!
