Picture a world where our concept of justice is redefined - where punishment is replaced with connectivity and relationship building. This profound shift is the heart of our discussion with the insightful academic, Lisa Guenther, who has extensively researched the effects of solitary confinement on individuals. Lisa gifts us with her wisdom as we scrutinize the impact of solitary confinement, navigating the complex concept of carceral power, and highlighting the controversial issue of carceral feminism.
We're unafraid to question the status quo. As staunch abolitionists, we debunk misconceptions surrounding the abolitionist movement and paint a vibrant picture of a future without prisons. Instead, we explore the possibilities of a society that champions public health solutions and reallocates funds from the criminal justice system towards building a more supportive and equitable world. We dream about a justice secretary who champions diversity and qualifications, a far cry from what we currently have.
We round off our conversation with the gut-wrenching tale of the proposed women's building in Holloway.
The story is a testament to the collective fight for justice, a struggle marred by the council's mishandling of funds and ignorance of the community's wishes. Lisa shares her experiences, shedding light on the commodification of women's struggles and the necessity to amplify their voices.
So, join us as we embark on this journey, not just to explore justice, but also to incite action towards a more equitable society.
