Symbiotic violence: white supremacy and the prison industrial complex

The prison industrial complex requires a white supremacist state. At the heart of the criminal justice system is the belief that some people are evil to their very core, and so cannot be reformed or transformed or sympathised with, but must be punished. The prison industrial complex thrives when it has a supply of undesirable bodies and a justification for punishing and exploiting them. White supremacy provides that supply and justification. Because of this, when we push back against white supremacy, it is in the prison industrial complex’s nature to reinforce it. The prison system teaches us about the inherent criminality of black youths, to make it uncritically accepted when police plant drugs or falsify evidence or straight out murder. So we cannot speak of abolition of white supremacy without also speaking of prison abolition. This means that our opposition to white supremacy requires a radical shift in our notions of justice.
