But her work is not just a chapter from the past. Davis, a distinguished professor emerita at UC Santa Cruz, continues today to work on prison issues and what she refers to as the “prison industrial complex.” She is a vocal critic of our criminal justice system, noting that it has disproportionately jailed people of color. She points out that state and local spending on prisons has risen three times faster than spending on schools since 1990. Prisons have become the de facto solution to many of the United States’ social problems, she argues. “But prisons do not disappear problems, they disappear human beings,” she wrote in a widely distributed essay (accessible here on Howard Zinn's online project “History is a Weapon.”). “And the practice of disappearing vast numbers of people from poor, immigrant, and racially marginalized communities has literally become big business.” Davis considers herself a prison abolitionist, and challenges listeners to rethink the modern system of incarceration.” @ucla #RobynSchelenz #protest #madebywomen」1月27日 9時34分
