Abstract
ABSTRACT Prison industrial complex abolition (PIC abolition) is the creative force that propels us to imagine worlds unseen and yet already here. For this project, I constructed a fictional abolitionist world—a world in which prisons and police become unthinkable, and community care is inevitable. Building on the transnational organizing work of scholar-organizers such as Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Kelli Gillespie, and Vanessa Thompson, this work hopes to break open the imaginative limitations of the carceral state and imagine the otherwise possible. What would it look like to take seriously the project of P.I.C. abolition as an already unfolding possibility? “Abolition is Here” hopes to find out.
废除监狱工业综合体(PIC废除)是一种创造性的力量，它推动我们想象一个看不见却已经存在的世界。在这个项目中，我构建了一个虚构的废奴主义世界——在这个世界里，监狱和警察变得不可想象，社区护理是不可避免的。在Ruth Wilson Gilmore、Kelli Gillespie和Vanessa Thompson等学者组织的跨国组织工作的基础上，本作品希望打破禁锢状态的想象限制，想象其他可能的情况。如果把废除人保权的计划视为一种正在展开的可能性，会是什么样子?“废除就在这里”希望找到答案。
