Prisons

Prisons, like slavery, and economic and political prostitution, are rooted in unfortunate histories of criminal choices. Criminal behaviors are rooted in revenge and fear and anger and insanely aggressive feelings of entitlement, bad faiths in superior wants and isolating needs. Retaliation is rooted in blame. Blame is rooted in guilt. Guilt is rooted in shame. Shame is rooted in insufficiency, poverty, feelings of marginal value, remedial weaknesses. Lack of value for healthy life, for all lives, is rooted in circles of perpetual retribution for lack of cooperative integrity. Lack of spiraling integrity is rooted in tolerance for habitual failures to love sufficiently, publicly and privately, socially and personally, naturally and spiritually. Failures of love are rooted in abundance of memorized terror. Terror is rooted in histories of trauma. Trauma is rooted in lack of restorative therapy. Lack of effective, necessary, sufficient, optimizing therapies is rooted in prisons viewed as fitting resolutions for others' crimes rather than criminalizing problems, personal and public sufferings, loss, failures of sufficient social integrity.
