Some more highlighting of more notable recent Inquest essays

It has been a couple of months since I highlighted essays from Inquest, “a decarceral brainstorm,” and so here is coverage of just some of its newer pieces that sentencing fans may want to check out:

By Denali Wilson, “Ending Juvenile Life Without Parole: Convincing New Mexico to stop sentencing children to die in prison required us to let go of ‘us’ versus ‘them’ politics.”

By Erin Collins, “Pinkwashing Prisons: Efforts to improve incarceration for women ultimately support a system that is worse for all.”

By Holly M. Karibo, “When Treatment First Met the Prison: During the mid-twentieth century, the Bureau of Prisons ran two ‘narcotic farms’ that muddled medical care with incarceration, part of a growing trend that criminalized addiction.”

By Shebri Dillon: “39 Years: I rejected a plea deal and chose instead to go to trial. I would not understand until too late that I had placed a target on my back.”

By Vidal Guzman, “Punishment TV: We are fighting to end carceral reality TV — including shows such as ‘60 Days In’ — because no one should profit from punishment.”
