In this season of abolition is for everybody, we talk about harm–what creates it, what recycles it, and how we can find our way to meaningful means of repair. To do this, we talk to folks who have caused harm, folks who prevent it, folks who experienced it, and we learn a lot about how often harms intersect, or grow from the same root. We’re excited to have these conversations with you!
Abolition Addresses How Prisons Perpetuate Violence
On the final episode of Season 2, Adam is joined by former Season 2 guests and community organizers Adrianna Griffith and Graham Finochio to share their experiences with the prison system. Together, they discuss the failures of our system as a vehicle for rehabilitation and safety, and the type of care and insight that is most responsible for creating a new pathway.
