An abolitionist approach that seeks to answer questions such as these would require us to imagine a constellation of alternative strategies and institutions, with the ultimate aim of removing the prison from the social and ideological landscapes of our society. In other words, we would not be looking for prisonlike substitutes for the prison, such as house arrest safeguarded by electronic surveillance bracelets. Rather, positing decarceration as our overarching strategy, we would try to envision a continuum of alterna­ tives to imprisonment-demilitarization of schools, revital­ ization of education at all levels, a health system that pro­ vides free physical and mental care to all, and a justice sys­ tem based on reparation and reconciliation rather than retri­ bution and vengeance. explain this quote
