Prison: Abolish or Destroy?

The plan is to empty the prisons of the great majority of prisoners and throw them back into the prison-society using the technology of isolation and control; and for the minority of irreducible rebels, keep them inside for ever.

This is what the abolitionists are really subscribing to: ‘change everything so that everything remains the same’.
