Taking an abolitionist stance does not mean refusing to engage in incrementalchange, nor does it mean abandoning efforts to improve conditions insideprisons. Rather, abolitionists engage in “abolitionist reforms” or “non-reformistreforms.” These are reforms that either directly undermine the prison industrialcomplex or provide support to prisoners through strategies weaken, rather thanstrengthen, the prison system itself. For example, rather than lobbying for biggerprison health budgets to care for elderly prisoners, an abolitionist reform strategywould aim to get elderly prisoners out on compassionate release to obtain healthcarein the community.
