I love Angela Davis.
Not a new concept for me. I've heard first-hand experiences of detainees at Abu Ghraib and the way american terrorists treated "prisoners" (I use quotation here as many were political prisoners) in Iraq is no doubt the same way they treat their own people back in so-called america. The standards they practice in the Middle East will always be used against their own citizens.
I also appreciated how Davis covered so-called australia history/current barbaric practices in prisons.
What I find so odd, is the relabeling of prisons here to "Correctional Centres" 🤡 (we can't even refer to them as prisons at work anymore) to give the illusion that something has changed when in fact they remain some of the most harmful and violent places in our society.
