I don't think prisons should exist.
I don't think a free society is compatible with carceral "justice".
I also would not expect a politician to accomplish prison abolition. I don't think that is possible from within this political system. I think this political system needs to go.
I could still hope for someone to enact policies that ensure prisoners have real fucking food to eat & receive medical care & whatever else. Not because it is the solution, but because it would bring some relief.
