You’re a prison abolitionist. You’re in a high stakes discussion where you have to answer seriously and be convincing.
Someone asks you : “yeah, but what are we to do with people breaking the law, then? What will you replace prisons with ?”
What will you answer?
While trauma can be a life sentence in a way, that doesn’t mean it isn’t treatable. I’ll always have a brain formed/rewired by trauma but, through therapy, it no longer impairs my life enough to qualify as a “disorder”
I have diagnosed C-PTSD. But I understand it’s too late now to treat my father or grandfather.
Going prisonless seems, to me, rediculous?
