“…For instance, Angela Davis has been a vocal critic of the prison industrial complex, argues that gender and age are factors that affect how well former offenders integrate back into society, exacerbate symptoms of hostility, and engrain offenders within defiance theory (Bloom and Bradshaw, 2022, p.142), highlighting the ineffectiveness of punishment. Therefore, as Davis (2011) and other scholars such as Van Ness, Braithwaite have suggested, a new approach to rehabilitation should be explored, such as utilizing a restorative justice method.…”

The implementation of rehabilitation programs in the penal system has garnered significant attention to address the root causes of criminal behaviour and facilitate the successful reintegration of offenders into society. However, the effectiveness of rehabilitation in prisons remains a subject of debate. Specifically, it is disputed what factors influence rehabilitation effectiveness, with particular attention given to psychological and educational rehabilitation approaches, as well as factors affecting socio-demographic groups like age, race, and gender. The project conducted in-depth interviews with Ukrainian and Canadian university students to explore this issue further. Studies on rehabilitation effectiveness have produced varying results, with some indicating positive changes in inmates' psychological well-being and easier societal reintegration. In contrast, others have shown limited or no significant improvements. Their insight highlighted the need for improvements in the rehabilitation process to ensure public safety and reduce recidivism rates. By addressing these concerns, society can have greater confidence in the rehabilitative efforts undertaken in correctional facilities, ultimately fostering a safer environment for all.

“…This work, grounded in ongoing anti-policing and anti-incarceration organizing in California’s Bay Area, also led to other coalitional efforts: connecting with a campaign in San Francisco to stop a new jail; joining public health workers addressing the health impacts of policing and the impacts of COVID-19 on people in jails, prisons, and detention centers; and the ongoing development of materials and tools aiming to disentangle possibilities for developing community well-being from the prison industrial complex, including posters that introduce short-term abolitionist steps to reduce the reach of policing and incarceration. 6 All of these outgrowths build on the always-emergent work of Critical Resistance, the Oakland Power Projects, and abolitionist political frameworks, working to envision and generate a multitude of “alternatives” to the Prison Industrial Complex (PIC) (Davis, 2011, p. 46). 7…”

How What We Ask Shapes What We Can Imagine: De-Coupling Design and Punishment

The notion that policing and incarceration are permanent and necessary, if in need of reform or more “humane” design, guides contemporary practices of making in a range of design fields and, increasingly, designers’ forays into policy- and government service-making. These projects often take the form of spatial interventions and proposals for new jails, police stations, and, in some cases, the reorganization of the spaces around them. This article examines three projects—Chicago’s Polis Station, the New York City Justice Hubs, and the Oakland Power Projects—that contend with the infrastructure of the prison industrial complex, in part by asking people questions about policing and incarceration to envision what to build. Here, I focus on what shaped these questions, and how the questions in turn shaped the possibilities for design that emerged from them, in ways that matter deeply to the imbrication of architecture, design, and punishment.

“…Despite many historical incidents of coercive interracial relationships ( Davis, 2011 ), there is no evidence that the increasing number of interracial marriages in modern times results from sexual coercion. The last half century has witnessed a significant decline in opposition to interracial marriage.…”

Biracial Faces Offer Visual Cues of Successful Intergroup Contact: Genetic Admixture and Coalition Detection

This research explores how biracial facial cues affect racial perception and social judgment. We tested a coalition-signaling hypothesis of biracial cues in two studies conducted in the United States ( n = 227) and China ( n = 116). From the perspective of intergroup and interpersonal relations theories in social psychology, biracial features would likely be perceived as cues of threat or resource competition. In contrast, we propose an evolutionary hypothesis that biracial facial cues reveal the ancestral history of intergroup alliances between members of two races or ethnic groups. When racial cues are mixed, we predict that biracial individuals may be viewed more positively than other-race or even own-race members who often compete for limited ingroup resources. The participants observed facial images that ranged from 100% Asian to 100% Caucasian, including morphed biracial composites of 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, and 70% Caucasian or Asian. The participants evaluated each image regarding perceived Caucasianness (Asianness), attractiveness, trustworthiness, health, intelligence, and career prospects. The US and Chinese samples yielded a similar pattern of own-race bias in racial perception and biracial favoritism in social judgment. The social judgment ratings were not correlated with the racial perception scores and were independent of the sex of the participants or biracial images, indicating a coalitional motive, instead of a mating motive, underlying social perception of biracial individuals. Overall, the results suggest that biracial facial features signal a successful genetic admixture and coalition in parental generations and thus increase the trustworthiness and cooperative potential of a biracial person.
