Medical neglect is not a side effect of prisons.

It is part of the strategy. These tactics are used to rob people of their physical and spiritual health, safety, and humanness. Mumia Abu-Jamal and Safiya Bukhari are just two examples of state sanctioned violence inflicted on incarcerated people. As RJ advocates we must ask ourselves how has medical neglect shown up in our work? Who is criminalized for seeking care? Black August reminds us that our belief in bodily autonomy must penetrate prison walls. All vulnerable communities deserve dignified care and our political prisoners must be centered and protected in this fight.
