Bristol ABC is very pleased to host this free workshop which examines

The social costs of prisons, especially for women, transpeople, queers, people of colour and poor people

Building links between anti-violence work (e.g. organizing against rape, assault, abuse) and prison abolition

Drawing connections between prison abolition and other social justice struggles, such as border activism and immigration detention, anti-racism and anti-colonial struggles, antipoverty and homelessness work, resistance to the “war on terror”, ending psychiatric abuse, fair wages for workers & fighting corporate irresponsibility

Alternatives to punishment and imprisonment
