..and...
"Institutions respond with resilience workshops, counselling hotlines and “mental health awareness days,” yet continue to operate through coercion, punishment and control. This ignores the fact that enforcing colonial laws, evicting families, surveilling communities,and using force is inherently traumatising, for both workers and the communities they target. Worse, policing culture actively cultivates trauma. In countries like the U.S. and Israel, “warrior-style” police training primes recruits to view the public as enemies, embedding hypervigilance, fear and aggression from the outset. This type of militarised police conditioning does not just result in trauma, it weaponises it, normalising violence as a professional duty. Policing produces trauma by design. If we accept that trauma and criminalisation are deeply correlated, then justice work must not reproduce trauma, either for communities or those employed to support them.Rather than pouring resources into traumatising roles and then offering superficial wellbeing supports, we should transform the work itself. This means reducing reliance on policing and punishment and building trauma-informed,community-led alternatives: crisis response teams, transformative justice processes, cultural healing spaces and culturally grounded services, especially for Indigenous communities surviving colonial violence and for women impacted by gendered trauma. True practitioner wellbeing is inseparable from community wellbeing. Abolition is not about abandoning safety, it is about redefining it through care, accountability and collective liberation."

I'm enjoying the assessment I'm writing today, because I'm actually being able to give my opinion with my whole entire chest, and not couch it in politeness.
"What I dislike about how the criminal justice system addresses trauma is that it largely does not address it at all. Instead, it punishes the symptoms of structural violence while ignoring the causes. Women are imprisoned for survival crimes, like shoplifting, fraud, drug possession, parole breaches, often directly linked to domestic violence, poverty, or coercion. Indigenous women are imprisoned at exponentially higher rates not because they are more "criminal," but because they live under a racist colonial state that constantly intervenes in their lives through child removal, policing, and incarceration. The system compounds trauma: strip searches, isolation from children, and institutional abuse are all forms of state violence.
What I do appreciate are the emerging discussions around trauma-informed practice, but these reforms remain superficial within a system fundamentally designed to punish and control. Real change cannot come from within the logic of carcerality.
To respond differently, we must reject the assumption that cages create safety. If trauma contributes to criminalisation, then healing, not punishment, must be our response. Communities require investment in housing, mental health care, family support, culturally grounded healing programs, and abolitionist alternatives to policing and prisons. For Indigenous people, this must include self-determination and truth-telling about colonisation. Addressing trauma is not merely therapeutic, it is political. A just society does not criminalise pain; it prevents it."

"This zine provides a basic introduction to de-arresting, aka free folks from the grasp of law enforcement officers (LEOs). It covers a number of different tactics and goes over some of the risks involved."

💫KlassenJustizInSüdbaden- August Sendung👻
In der Sommerpause von Radio Dreyeckland schaue ich in der Sendung KJIS bei @RDL zurück auf die A-Tage 🌠 in Freiburg: die Anarchistischen Tage fanden vom 24.07.-28.07.2025 in Südbaden statt. Es gab spannende Vorträge, Workshops, Küfa und Musik. In KlssenJustizInSüdbaden senden wir heute neben einem Rückblick auf einige der Veranstaltungen, drei Inputs die im Zusammenhang mit Knastkritik, Feministischer Abolitionismus und einen allgemeinen Input zur Frage der Abschaffung von Gefängnissen, im Rahmen eines Workshops bei den A-Tagen in der KTS gegeben wurden.

“Abolition, as a tradition, a philosophy, and a theory of change, moves away from a myopic focus on the prison toward a more expansive vision of the social, political, and economic processes that defined the context within which imprisonment came to be viewed as the legitimate hand of justice. As a “practical organizing tool and long-term goal”, abolition is a political vision with the goal of eliminating imprisonment, policing, and surveillance and creating lasting alternatives to punishment and imprisonment. As illustrated by the history of the prison and the police, reforms sold as “progressive” all too often function to mask expanding mandates, logics, and budget lines. Abolitionist movements require struggles about strategy and vision: what, for example are the “non-reformist reforms” (to use a phrase coined by Marxist theorist Andre Gorz and applied by Thomas Mathiesen in his Politics of Abolition) that make sustainable and material differences in the lives of people living under the control of oppressive systems?”

Imagined Future: A thriving youth center has taken form in this refurbished Victorian house. Young visitors access mental-health, spiritual, and vocational guidance, as well as mediation support interwoven with the community. Ceanothus blooms in front of the house attracting monarch butterflies. The roof is thatched in tule as a green building practice and to honor local Indigenous knowledge.

Ontario’s jail conditions are inhumane and disgraceful, judges say. Criminals are serving shorter sentences as a result
> As the premier calls for bail reforms that would see more people locked up while awaiting trial, Ontario’s jails are “in a state of growing crisis.”
From the Sisters Inside Facebook page:
When ‘tougher’ checks hurt the wrong people
The women we work with through the National Network of Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls often face immense barriers to obtaining a WWCC, even when their charges have nothing to do with children. Many who apply have convictions that stem from surviving poverty, violence, homelessness or substance use. These are routinely read by the system not as evidence of structural harm or survival, but as fixed indicators of unsuitability.
Criminalised women — especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women — already face steep hurdles when applying for a clearance after prison. The law treats a decades-old shoplifting charge, a survival response to domestic violence, or even the state-sanctioned removal of one’s own child as permanent red flags. These often result in women being denied a clearance and being issued a prohibition or negative notice.
