Beth E. Ritchie on #TheLongTerm: "I’ve learned so much from my students at Stateville. Lessons on how to make community strong inside & out. Our students are teaching in mess halls, sharing resources, building systems of accountability, figuring out how to make abolition real."

Beth E. Ritchie on #TheLongTerm: “COVID-19 is a death sentence for people who are already experiencing death. Death is inherent in what prisons are. We need to find ways so that people don't die. We need to demand in more than rhetorical way that they are set free."

Kathy Boudin: "We must center long-termers. More than half the people in prison have been convicted of violent crimes. We’re excluding people that might change the system when we exclude them." #TheLongTerm @CSRPC

Kathy Boudin on moving beyond violent/non-violent distinctions: “There’s a dehumanization tied deeply to racism & ppl are defined as thugs or murderers. When you freeze people in that definition, you eliminate the whole person, the notion of transformation + growth." #TheLongTerm

Over 1/2 the ppl in prison are convicted of violent crimes. They’re frozen in time as their conviction by ppl on the outside... denies transformation, denies parole and possibly to return with all the strengths they bring—Kathy Boudin on #TheLongTerm

Alice Kim, in closing — we need to think of the people inside, as well as the people outside, as we work together to imagine decarceration and a more just future. #TheLongTerm

The title #TheLongTerm further references survival of long sentences, resistance against violent institutions, as ongoing, for those inside and those coming home and all those fighting for truly livable communities everywhere

Alice @mazztopia is telling us about @ChicagoTorture. The Center included in the reparations ordinance had to be the complete opposite of institutions of the carceral state and typical reentry and rehab approaches. #TheLongTerm
