Inquest

ALT Quote card from Lyndsey Lane's Inquest essay "What a Prison Reform Tour Can't Show": "The most hopeful rooms in a prison are still rooms inside a prison."

ALT Quote card for Jeremy Busby's Inquest article "This Is How I Report from Solitary Confinement": "Reporting from prison is a lot like reporting from a war zone. You try to document what is happening around you while staying in survival mode yourself. You know that a single mistake can have irreversible consequences at the hands of those in power—including death."

ALT Quote card for Stevie Wilson's Inquest article "How I Came to Abolition": "One of the things that studying helped me see is that there were things I had already been doing before my incarceration that were abolitionist—we just didn’t call them that. Coming to abolition, then, was not a conversion so much as a recognition."

ALT Quote card from Marissa Potts's Inquest article "No Medicine, No Nothing": "One of the hardest things I have ever done was spend 48 hours with my newborn son trying to memorize every detail of his tiny face before handing him to a nurse to be placed in foster care."

ALT Quote card from Kristine Guillaume's Inquest article "Under the Warden's Eye": "Communication, communing, and community pose a threat to the carceral apparatuses that seek to fracture relations and exercise control within and beyond prison walls."

ALT Quote from Julius Irving, whose film 'The Silent (R)evolution' is featured this week on Inquest: "It’s time for a drastic, far-reaching change. While we’re waiting for the system to catch up and catch on, us—me, you, the people—hold a tremendous duty to one another."
