“But if we abolish the police/prisons, where do rapists go?”

I’d love to know what world you live in where rapists spend any meaningful time in prison and where police can’t legally rape people in their custody in 35 states.

Where are the rapists going now? Mine are all free.
None of my rapists have ever done all of these things:

1) acknowledged their harm to me
2) faced consequences for it
3) been to counseling for harm caused

Have yours?
I don’t think the prison system is doing anything meaningful to rapists. I don’t think police are doing anything meaningful to rapists.

When it does: it’s rare, we have to celebrate it, it’s so rare.

Transformative justice, restorative justice, and reform > incarceration.
