#Incarcerated Lives Matter By: Lacino Hamilton Just a few years ago, the crises of mass incarceration was largely thought of as an invisible issue. Talked about almost exclusively in abolitionist circles and on prison yards. It is now part of the mainstream discourse. Publications and groups spanning the political spectrum, even presidential hopefuls in both parties, claim support for reducing the incarceration rate. Still, we must not be naive. Elite-level alliances, the dominant voice, tape...

A More Complicated Framework May Yield More Decarceration Options By: Lacino Hamilton Many incarcerated people find the sudden message of mass incarceration being a really bad idea, the right message, but the dominate narrative superficial. And therefore distracts from the most immediate challenges of not only decarceration, but ultimately the abolition of prisons. Let's be clear, for the most part, the current national conversation surrounding how to reform mass incarceration policies i...

At What Point Do We Act Out Our Ideas? By: Lacino Hamilton Been trying to find space to observe and reflect on the world and where I find myself in it. Trying to find a place for the careful working out of ideas. I do not want to form the habit of writing for the sake of being topical. The dialogue being developed is much to important for that. Besides, even reading and writing possess functional limits. There must be recourse to other disciplines, other means of challenging practices that do...

Capitalism Creates The Need For Prison By: Lacino Hamilton For many people in the U.S., the high hopes of securing a career, or at least a full-time job that pays a living wage, a relatively stable community, or a clean environment with a quality future for their children has been wiped out. More and more people continue to be marginalized and rendered destitute by capitalism, forced by necessity to learn to live outside the formal economy. In this climate the politics of poverty, hunger, hom...

Let’s Bridge The Divide And Create A Transformative Cearning Experience By: lacino Hamilton Much of the criticism pushing the national conversation concerning U.5. mass incarceration appears to come from upper-middle-class politicians, scholars, and media personalities. Most of whom have little or no direct contact with prisons or prisoners. This hardly represents healthy democratic impulses. The message to the general public is that the perspectives, ideas and experiences of incarcerated peo...

You did not understand whan I was fifteen when I repeatedly asked for your help. Who advises their child to "hustle harder?" To "get out and get it like you live?" I listened, but you knew better than me the emotional, psychological and social reverberations. But you did not care, or had a peculiar way of showing it. It bothers me know...

The Explosive Growth of Police With a Military Orientation By: Lacino Hamilton Politicians in the U.S., as well as the mass media, have almost universally ignored the continuous expansion of the police. A significant move in a sea of policies (and absence of policies) which aided the unprecedented expansion of U.S. prisons. Rather than questioning the idea of more and more police doing things that used to be done by neighbors and community groups; rather than questioning has the U.S. reached ...

It will probably go down as one of the biggest scandals ever in professional sports. When President Barack Obama made a cameo appeara...

Too Much Recidivism, Too Little Treatment By: Lacino Hamilton There is not a single explanation for recidivism. Rather, varying circumstances and combination of factors which include socio-economic disadvantages, unhealthy life styles, zero tolerant parole guidelines, personal pathologies, residential and employment segregation, and a lack of substantial psycho-social programming before release from incarceration. Assuming the relative contribution of these factors is complicated by the fact ...

The family and friends of these men and women need to experience acknowledgement, voice, and participation in order to heal. Not solely in terms of forensic and adversarial legal processes, but in terms of restoration and peach. Unfortunately, there is no coherent...
