1. El Sistema Carcelario: Un Ciclo Perpetuo de Violencia y Abuso.
El archivo subraya que las prisiones y cárceles no son interruptores de la violencia, sino instituciones que la generan y la intensifican. Se reportan altos niveles de violencia entre reclusos y por parte del personal, exacerbados por el hacinamiento, la falta de recursos y el sadismo institucional. La abolición es presentada como la única respuesta justa ante este sistema inherentemente violento.
- Jails, especially juvenile jails, induce and intensify ptsd. This leads to more issues and more arrests. Jails are not violence interrupters. This is not how violence is reduced in our community or our city.
- Us prisonsjails are inherently violent places structural racism, gender violence, and violence against disabled people permeates the death-dealing institutions.
- When people are locked up, the default state is, ime, extremely volatile. People are terrified and often engage in acts of violence to try to prevent from becoming victims of violence themselves. Bullying by both staff and inmates is a huge problem.
- The whole prison system seemed to be engineered to encourage abuse and violence, which does not help justice a single bit.
- The very foundation of prisons rests on control and threat of violence against esp black people.
- All prisons, jails detention facilities generate violence death. They serve no other purpose. Abolishice defundpolice abolishprisons dismantlewhiteness bsky.approfilecnn.
- Violence in prisons isnt a surprise its inevitable auspol.
2. Criminalización y Desplazamiento: La Violencia contra los Sin Techo.
El texto identifica la falta de vivienda y la pobreza como formas de violencia estructural. Las acciones gubernamentales, como los desalojos forzosos y la confiscación de pertenencias ('sweeps'), son descritas como actos de violencia directa que aumentan el riesgo de sobredosis, agresión física y sexual para las personas sin hogar. Se critica la retórica que equipara la presencia de personas sin hogar con el peligro.
- Houselessness is violence and the unhoused are the most likely to be the target of further violence, as we witnessed just earlier this week.
- Violence against unhoused people is too often ignored. Protecting unhoused people from violence means more than policingit means addressing poverty, housing, and the systems that leave people vulnerable in the first place.
- Lately i feel like my whole local politics personality is hollering the presence of unhoused people is not the same as danger. Property crime is not the same as violence.
- Street sweeps increase overdose and violence risks, study finds thetyee.canews202509. City workers in vancouver have been confiscating tents and personal belongings from unhoused people since 2008.
- The cost of housing for the people isnt some nature sacred and unchanging to the world we inhabit, it is active violence against living human beings perpetuated every day by the state that permits and encourages it.
- We are horrified by the violent rhetoric and violence targeting homeless people seen in the past week.
- The places they want to put homeless people are not places anyone would agree to live in voluntarily, without penalty of violence.
3. Abordando las Causas Fundamentales y la Prevención de la Violencia.
Existe un consenso en el archivo de que la seguridad real proviene de abordar las raíces de la violencia, como la pobreza, la inestabilidad de la vivienda y la desesperanza, en lugar de depender de más policía y castigo. La rehabilitación, la justicia restaurativa y el apoyo a las víctimas de violencia doméstica son presentados como caminos más efectivos para romper el ciclo de la violencia.
- Safety comes from addressing the roots of violence - poverty, housing instability, and hopelessness.
- We have tried more police, prisons and punishment, it has not made us safer. The path forward comes from addressing the roots of violence.
- Crime is a function of poverty. If a politician is serious about actually reducing violence in our cities, theyll get health care, child care, and housing subsidies to poor people.
- This is why rehabilitation is so important to me. Systems that just punish people will not improve anything. They just create cycles of violence.
- Long sentences for violent offenses are also retributive, often justified in the name of victims. Yet, contrary to the popular narrative, most victims of violence want violence prevention, not incarceration.
- 3 out of 4 women incarcerated in prisons and jails report experiences of intimate partner violence. Instead of getting support, protection, or a path to healing, too many are arrested, prosecuted, and locked away, separated from their children.
- We need to ask our politicians, do we want them to be productive citizens when they get out or too damaged to function or be safe around?
4. La Pervasividad de la Violencia Doméstica y Rural.
El documento destaca que la violencia no se limita a los espacios urbanos o carcelarios, sino que es un problema generalizado, a menudo oculto. Se menciona que gran parte de la violencia ocurre dentro del hogar (violencia doméstica) y que las áreas rurales y pequeñas ciudades también experimentan altas tasas de violencia, especialmente contra mujeres y niños, desafiando la percepción de que las ciudades son inherentemente más peligrosas.
- Most violence happens in the home, not on the streets.
- Its one reason why some think the suburbs are safe because so much of the crime is domestic violence.
- If im learning anything its that small towns have high violence against women and children. I have my eyes on them. Dexter style.
- Have you ever heard of per capita? when adjusted dependent on population size, rural areas have much higher rates of violence.
- Violence against women, children, and the elderly is higher in rural communities than urban centers. No one is sending the national guard to protect them.
- Also the reason murder rates being higher in small red towns isnt perceived by them as scary as compared to big cities. In a small town its most likely a boyfriendhusband thats going to kill their family, not random street violence.
