Prison Abolition Movement[edit]

Generally wish to rename this article the Prison Abolition Movement (US) and if other editors don't like that I'll create another article that is solely the american push for abolition and will end up poaching a lot of the sources from this supposedly international article. Another idea is to move everything that's america related into an american subsection and create other sections for countries that have definitive movements for abolition.

Direct Link to UDHR [1]

changed nlg link to a working one looking for one of the full text -- released and adopted a resolution in favor of prison abolition.[2][3]

Inserted a reference to SAMI [4]

Prominent social activist Angela Davis, outspoken critic of the prison-industrial complex, openly supports prison abolition.[5] "Mass incarceration is not a solution to unemployment, nor is it a solution to the vast array of social problems that are hidden away in a rapidly growing network of prisons and jails. However, the great majority of people have been tricked into believing in the efficacy of imprisonment, even though the historical record clearly demonstrates that prisons do not work."[6] Her relevancy in this movement is attested by her close involvement with other groups moving to abolish the PIC.[7]

Critical Resistance, co-founded by Angela Davis and Ruth Wilson Gilmore, is an American organization working towards an "international movement to end the Prison Industrial Complex by challenging the belief that caging and controlling people makes us safe."[8] Other similarly motivated groups such as the Prison Activist Resource Center (PARC), a group "committed to exposing and challenging all forms of institutionalized racism, sexism, able-ism, heterosexism, and classism, specifically within the Prison Industrial Complex," [9] and Black & Pink, an abolitionist organization that focuses around LGBTQ rights, all advocate for prison abolition.[10] Furthermore, names such as the Human Rights Coalition, a 2001 group that aims to abolish prisons,[11][12] and the California Coalition for Women Prisoners, a grassroots organization dedicated to dismantling the PIC,[13] can be added to the long list of organization that desire a different justice system in our world.[14]

Every other year after Ruth Morris organized the first one in Toronto in 1983,[15] The International Conference on Penal Abolition (ICOPA) gathers activists, academics, journalists, and "others from across the world who are working towards the abolition of imprisonment, the penal system, carceral controls and and the prison industrial complex (PIC)."[16] ICOPA was one of the first penal abolitionist conference movements, similar to Critical Resistance in America, but "with an explicitly international scope and agendasetting ambition."[17]

Looks kind of bland, will definitely try to add images. Some of the references need moving around or updating because they're broken links or whatnot.

Added source for CR chapters, [24] and for the conference held in 1998 [25] as well as reworded a little of the lead.

Ruth Wilson Gilmore[edit]

Someone edited this one before I got to it, they did a decent job. there seems to be little else out there about her.

might end up switching this one out for something else but that might be an escapist attitude toward an article that desperately needs rewriting/formatting.

California Prison Moratorium Project[edit]

The California Prison Moratorium Project is a grassroots organization co-founded by Dr. Ruth Gilmore, involved in Prison Abolition through Critical Resistance, and Ernesto Saveedra, a youth advocate, for the purpose of stopping "all public and private prison construction in California."[37] Over its activist life, the CPMP has partnered with a number of groups including Critical Resistance, The California Coalition for Women Prisoners, Californians United for a Responsible Budget (CURB), and many other abolitionist organizations to move forward in their goal of halting any erection of additional penal facilities within the state of California.[38][39] An example of their collective success is demonstrated in such cases as the 2001 prevention of a new Delano Prison where anti-prison activists such as the CPMP swayed public opinion away from yet another jail.[40]

Kind of want to dig into the issue of mass incarceration in California specifically and outline why this project has arose/what it has accomplished.
