"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"
my mother thought i would pick up the bad habits of the delinquents she taught, habits such as chewing gum and leaving the toilet seat up. i wrote about that herehttps://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/working-remotely-turned-me-into-the-ultimate-quarantine-prepper …
