Inside today's prisons there is vast and preventable suffering, violence and injustice. The violence inside this increasingly punitive system results in the profound deterioration of the human spirit. All living things are sacred. We are all connected. This violence affects us all.
Punishment is no solution.
Putting people in cages is no solution. These things happen because of fear. We can care for each other in a human, humane way, with compassion. We can imagine dissolving the walls of punishment, shame, fear, and isolation that separate the incarcerated from Life.
