IWOC added,
what do people currently incarcerated in prison think of the argument that ankle bracelets are a form of incarceration?
Well, just like on the outside, there are all kinds of differing opinions inside. But it's a good question and a good prompt for some of our inside-outside correspondence and media. With time we can actually publish some prisoners' takes on it all. 1/
But it seems there are two questions implicit in your comment - 1. Are there prisoners that share the analysis that the state is utilizing "ecarceration" to extend and modify carceral capacity? 2/
And 2 - If given the chance would people locked down and tortured opt for an ankle bracelet and ? [This admin isnt locked up so Im not gonna speak for people... but that answer is pretty obvious. Like "fuck yeah."]
I think the other key piece is perspectives from organizers on the outside who've experienced both (eg Kilgore).
I'm familiar with Kilgore's perspective and the e-carceration campaign. Personally, I feel like this framing is confusing because it's obvious that an ankle bracelet is not an actual prison. I don't see how this argument will persuade anyone.
But there seems to be no public critique. Presumably campaigners want to present a "united front." I was specifically curious about the perspective of people in prison, and whether people think this argument diminishes the reality of what they experience. Thx for the discussion.
I can say now, I doubt you will find any prisoners that view a leg monitor as an actual prison. The two can't be compared in my reality. But I do overstand the burdens of its attachments once outside the prison gates.
