"Prison will become an almost universal experience. It will not necessarily be a cruel or shameful experience. It may be a vastly improved experience. But the prison will be made more humane only in order to contain more of humanity."https://twitter.com/marcatracy/status/1252961130659622914 …
I attended what was essentially "no school" for five years -- home school when my mother returned from teaching public school, with no daytime supervision -- and I also attended a "year-round" school in Greenville NC. The latter was a kind of entry-level "prison" or "holding pen"
It served a function, certainly -- it freed up people to labor for their overlords. Everyone was "free" to do this except those of us kept in that pen. I spent about half of my 9th and 10th grade years in "In School Suspension," a strange liminal space where I did nothing
Unlike during my free days when I was home schooled, when I read books and played video games, ISS offered me the chance to do nothing except "writing sentences" (some kind of repetitive punishment) and "sitting quietly." I also sometimes snipped paper with the "safety scissors"
For many years in California, at least, the same companies that built prisons built public schools and military installations. Sometime, we should talk about the design of UC Irvine (my alma mater) as a response to the Kent State riots.
Brutalist architecture for the brutal business of shaping the babies into obedient brutes
"It matters little whether our masters stoop to state the matter in the form that every prison should be a school; or in the more candid form that every school should be a prison... Everyone goes to the Elementary Schools except the few people who tell them to go there."
