We must unite and demand justice and better treatment for incarcerated persons.
Dangerous conditions in prison are one product of a failing system of mass incarceration. Are we at all surprised that in our current system, where we take away hope and opportunity and put human beings in a concrete box with few opportunities to transform their lives while incarcerated or once they’re released, that nearly two-thirds commit new crimes? To fix this we
must dismantle the prison industrial complex and transform the criminal justice system from one of punishment to one of healing and hope. Indeed, I’m a portrait of what’s possible with hope and healing. almost 2.5 million women are released from jails and prisons facing countless barriers to reentry . ANWOL works to provide services and support for those exiting prison, ensuring they are set up for success for life outside of incarceration. While recidivism rates across the country hover around 65%, there is a recidivism rate of just 6% among residents of A New Way Of Life’s reentry homes.
By creating a different approach to keeping our communities safe, these programs provide individuals the opportunity and the support they need to change their lives and become fully functioning members of society. At a time when public safety has become such a hot-button issue, it is critical to divest from prisons and reinvest in programs and organizations that work toward changing laws, policies, and regulations through advocacy and community organizing around criminal justice.
