Abolition Must Include Psychiatry By Stella Akua Mensah Edited by Stefanie Lyn Kaufman-Mthimkhulu Content notes: sanism, racism, violence, state violence, incarceration, institutionalization, forc…

“ Prison culture is not solvable by ‘funding the mental health system’ more robustly. The mental ‘health’ system is fundamentally carceral, meaning that it is one of the many kindred systems that function to contain and surveil people, take away their locus of control, isolate them from their communities, and limit their freedom.
