It is necessary to oppress to achieve a semblance of peace and good order through the imposition of justice and punishment. Peace and Good Order cannot exist in an oppressive state. The act of oppressing, by imposing punishment, destroys the peace. It is not good order to use violence to maintain a semblance of order. Punishment is violence.
Incarceration is violence.
The violence of incarceration maintains and is maintained by the economic system of the industrial capitalist criminal justice system. We are left with the problem of participating, aiding and assisting, or attempting to re-create peace and good order. The criminal justice system s use of violent punishment has decimated our communities. The answer is of course economical. If we are denied the resources to heal the incarcerated we will not be able to maintain peace and good order.
