I have a suggestion. Let's try her example by closing one prison.....and mandating that all of the prisoners be put into her zip code.
How about exiling them to remote islands in shark infested waters?
Obviously there are no prisons in marxist countries.
No prisons - pay fine, stand in public stocks, or death.
Only violent criminals should be jailed.
Process them into Soylent and fed it to the liberal cannibals
Notice the article called her a “social activist” in the lead instead of a hard core COMMUNIST. Here are some examples of her social activism:
“She emerged as a nationally prominent counterculture activist and radical in the 1960s, as a leader of the Communist Party USA....She was twice a candidate for Vice President on the Communist Party USA ticket during the 1980s.
On August 7, 1970, Jonathan Jackson, a heavily armed 17-year-old African-American high-school student, gained control over a courtroom in Marin County, California. Once in the courtroom, Jackson armed the black defendants and took Judge Harold Haley, the prosecutor, and three female jurors as hostages.[17][18] As Jackson transported the hostages and two black convicts away from the courtroom, the police began shooting at the vehicle. The judge and the three black men were killed in the melee; one of the jurors and the prosecutor were injured.
Davis had purchased the firearms used in the attack, including the shotgun used to kill Haley, which had been bought two days prior and the barrel sawed off.[18] Since California considers all persons concerned in the commission of a crime, whether they directly commit the act constituting the offense... principals in any crime so committed,”

She was found not guilty later in an OJ type trial.
Maybe if it was all Whiteys in prison, she’d change her mind.
We need prisons but the prison system as we know it could use some correcting.
Too often we send people to prison only to see them emerge years later worse than they were when we sent them there. Years of GenPop exposes them to the worst of humanity where they either must plumb new depths of depravity to survive and/or learn new depths of negative behavior. We too often wind up creating new monsters while trying to punish the ones we fear most.
I don’t know what the answer is. But, the current system is far, far from ideal,
I will be the first to agree that there are a lot of people in prison who shouldn’t be there. But there are a whole lot more who need to be locked up. The trick is identifying the first group from the second.
I have long said that most prisons should be closed. Prison creates monsters (and yes, of course, there are some monsters there who were like that before they went to prison).
In order for the Jim Noble close all prisons plan to work, 3 things need to happen:
1) Radical expansion of the death penalty.
2) Physical punishment for property crimes and drug offenses
3) Creation of an offshore island isolation facility for lifelong incarceration for certain violent crimes (those where the offender is not executed).
In fact when Czech prisoners had appealed for her support (having heard of her opposition to prisons in the US) the Commie lackey refused them. Her history of being only against prisons in non-Communist countries is a fact that only a propagandist could ignore.
Davis as honored guest of regime members of the East German Communist prison state.
Angela Davis is a despicable hardcore Communist who made a very nice and comfortable living off the system she abhors.
When she no longer draws breath, the world will be a better place.
That she now deludes anew generation is abhorrent.
Without a justice system that works, folks will rezort to vigilante justice.
A man’s wife gets raped? Perp is going to do the oak tree neck stretch. Someone steals my car? I burn down their house.
That’s one way to cut down on the number of incarcerated black criminals.
Another 60’s radical turned criminal turned academic. What varied careers they have.
So Angela, release violent predators into the population? Brilliant /sarc
This woman has been a hard left lunatic for a very long time. How she has a university position when she should be picking cotton is a mystery.
Imagine a broader use of the death penalty. It’s easy if you try, no ex prisoners preying on society, no prisons needed if they die.
Sounds like one big circle jerk. The sad part is that these clowns take a real issue that should be discussed -- whether non-violent drug users should be in prison -- and overlay their racial oppression fantasies onto it and make the discussion useless.
Prisons were established with the largely humane intent to confine and reform criminals. Before the method used to protect society from that element involved a wooden platform, rope of adequate length and strength, and a festive crowd of onlookers. Or, as an alternative, exile to some far away harsh and unforgiving wilderness like colonial America and Australia. Now prisons are just hugely expensive (to tax payers) criminal academies that refine the talents and skills of the condemned so they can wreak even more havoc after release than before. Old options A and B are looking better and better.
