PRISONS

Community Partners: Dignity and Power Now, Black and Pink

The Prison Team was motivated by conversations with abolitionist and transformative justice organizations, Dignity and Power Now and Black and Pink. From these conversations, our group was inspired to create a compilation of quantitative and qualitative data visualizations with the goal of excavating the obscured relationship between prisons and pandemics. We analyzed our data through a racial justice lens in the hopes of developing the beginning of an informative instrument that functions as a tool towards abolition.
