Sometimes when people hear me say I am a prison abolitionist they think I am *anti-consequences*.
Don't get it twisted.
Sometimes people need to sit all the way down and think about what they've done or at the very least lose privileges, property, access. HOW and WHEN that happens is what I am concerned with.
But trust and believe, I DO BELIEVE that actions have consequences and sometimes it is the role of your community to hand some of those consequences over.

Angela Davis acquitted 1972 — spent five decades building abolition's intellectual infrastructure. Sylvester in gowns on national TV 1979 — never explained himself once, left his estate to AIDS organizations. Barbara Jordan before the Judiciary Committee 1974 — 285 bills before she reached Washington. None of them asked if the room was ready.
