  • In recent years, calls for abolishing police and prisons in the United States have grown louder.
    In the wake of what many view as failures by law enforcement and the US criminal legal system, people have been calling for an alternative approach, placing abolition at the centre of mainstream discourse on how to confront police brutality and systemic racism.
    That approach must be both humane and encompass a bigger picture vision for dealing with crime and violence, says political activist and scholar, Angela Davis, who has been at the forefront of movements to abolish prisons and the police for decades.
    But is abolition really possible? And what would take the place of prisons and police?
    On an UpFront special interview, Marc Lamont Hill speaks with Angela Davis.

    One of the things I’ve heard from abolitionist talks regarding how to deal with violent crime, is small highly trained task force(essentially swat removed from the institutional problems of policing) to respond to violent crimes.
    Alongside proper mental health institution to help treat the conditions that produce the violence of course.
    As I understand it essentially the goal is a network of systems to address the conditions, and crimes in society, each of which is specialized and can respond to their area of expertise(including violent crime) rather than a dude with a gun responding to them all

    There was at least one country that "abolished" police. In 1918 following the 1917 October revolution, the newly formed Soviet Russia disbanded all "ancient regime" police forces. To maintain order and to prosecute "counter-revolutionary elements" a new, people's, workers' militia was formed, which was distinct from the Red Guard, precursor to the Red Army. Pretty quickly though, this "people's militsiya" was subordinated to the NKVD and became de facto a police force. The name "militsiya" survived the Soviet system, but not for very long... Sometime in the 2000s the whole organization was renamed police again. So it goes. State is police, and police is state.

    I consider myself a radical and ally when it comes to prison abolition. I actually think it needs to go further than just addressing racial inequality and become a global movement to bring real change to all marginalised people.
    No non violent offender should be behind bars. Murderers, sexual offenders and predators on the other hand need to be isolated from the public. And this can indeed be done without the use of prisons or the use of public funds.
    My solution towards post prison incarceration encompasses a range of progressive alternatives that facilitate the interests of all concerned stakeholders and seeks meaningful outcomes.
    One of the most important outcomes of a post prison detainment along with re-education of the offender is the ability of the offender to compensate the victims of the crime.
    There needs to be a commodification of offenders as a form of punishment and compensation to the victims and communities as a whole.

    Nothing will prevent crime. And there are levels to criminals. Some are circumstantial. There are those who are jailed unfairly. But there are just some people that are evil. If you believe in good.. therefore you must believe in and evil. So what do you do with the evil?
    1. Either restrain them behind a jail,
    2. Remove them from society
    Some people just don't deserve to be among the innocent
    It is not a nice thing to say, but it is a reality.

    Well, the world has to go Socialist first, is the response. Socialist/Communist China has both prisons and police.
    Her single Practical Proposal: - send in trained personnel without guns to treat mentally disturbed people with sympathy and understanding. Yes, but if the caring psychiatric professional is killed by the mentally disturbed person, who gets called if Police don't exist? Another psychiatric illness professional? Or an armed psychiatric illness professional?
    BTW, drugs are seldom seen as an issue by socialists? It's always depravation and mental illness. Yes, but hard drugs (a Capitalist Heaven Product) don't help. No mention of it in the Police and Prison Abolition discussion.

      @@rick_222 police abolition isn't just abolition of police alone. It involves building social support systems to prevent crime. Most crimes aren't violent, but rather crimes like burglary or selling drugs because they cannot support themselves with an honest job. Some criminals are drug addicts who became addicted to drugs because that was their only temporary escape from poverty, like how hungry kids sniff glue to numb their pain, or how homeless people drink a lot.
      Violent crimes are rare compared to what I mentioned and harsh police action has been proven ineffective in addressing this. Never mind Draconian prison systems, which are more interested in using cheap prison labor to rent out to corporations like IBM. Cheap labor is profitable so they have every incentive to make sure they have a lot of prisoners be they wrongly accused or not. And they're mostly wrongly accused. Prisons don't fix broken people. Police don't protect you. They run the prisons and protect the govt from popular revolution.
      The best way to deal with the crimes you speak of is better social support. Affordable housing, education, employment opportunities. So that ordinary people can have financial stability and won't have to resort to crime to support themselves. It's actually a lot cheaper than running a militarized police force and private for profit prisons.

    I can honestly say as a medical professional, anywhere I have been that provides free healthcare completely has the worst healthcare on this planet. And if you need to see a specialist good luck you will wait 1 - 2 years. And ER wait times are 3 days. There are not enough doctors or nurses or specialists in countries where those clinicians get paid by the government. Not very many people will take up those hard earned careers to get paid scraps by the government. Sadly, the health system in the US has to involve capitalism to provide top tier healthcare that we receive here. Paying for healthcare means better care available. If people want free healthcare, get ready for a change in its availability and quality. If you're okay with waiting 2 years to see a cancer specialist or waiting 76 hours for an ER visit.. go for it and good luck.

And, we don't have to go the route of the CCP with cameras everywhere and a social credit system or dis-arm every law abiding citizen. Social workers can handle most of the non-violent crime. The police force should be well paid, well trained and equipped, have high educational requirements and reflect the communities they serve. Davis has a point concerning punishment though. We all know wealthy individuals are going to walk, while the poor do 5 to 10. Until the un-fairness ends, we will continue to have social unrest.

      Don't you think there is a distinct difference between an impoverished person stealing bread and someone murdering their spouse? People commit crimes for a myriad of reasons. Should we put people away for smoking pot? I don't think so, but the federal government says yes. Should we put someone away for raping women? For me, that's a question I'm still trying to figure out. Davis advocates for looking for the root cause of an issue, and trying to solve that, rather than simply locking people away (which increases their chances of reoffending, by the way). I think there's something to be said for restorative justice and the idea that maybe if we seek mental health support for a rapist, then they'll come out of it understanding the pain they caused and why what they did was wrong. To me, this doesn't seem like the kind of thing that can happen overnight, so I get why people are scared about the prospect of abolition. But I appreciate the encouragement in the video to be more imaginative. The current system is absolutely not working. Why don't we look for something better, rather than simply reaffirming that the current way is the only way?

    "her radical politics" lol she is one of the main figureheads of the neoliberal establishment as it currently exists. The idea here is that somehow we remove given police functions with another equally unaccountable and vaguely defined idea of "social work". None of these allow the exit of the bureaucratic disciplinary machines of the modern state from contemporary life. The idea of relying on families, loved ones, and communities are rejected in favour of relying on shadowy experts who know better for us than we know for ourselves, and are decentralized and so outside of some focal point of political action or imagination. And of course, we will see the increasing privatization of the police responsibilities that are ignored here, when one considers that this won't affect the actual social issues affecting contemporary American society, which much more than some mass shadow racism is the complete collapse of civil society in the effort to fight various hegemonic progressive formulations of social life and ethics. If some black kids in oakland rob a convenience store in blind day, the complete lack of social trust and civil society is not the problem but apparently the very impulse to engage in regulation of moral life.
    -
    lol what a complete tool Davis has become. The covid 19 crisis' political legacy isn't the mass realization of a bio-fascist security state having become legitimized and possible in semi-permanence, but rather people realizing there is racism? LMAO
    - Also she says that prison only increases violence without any substantiation - did she ever consider the possibility that people who are already prone to violence would be violent whether they are in prison or not? Every correlation must magically just support her case I guess.
