Reform vs Transform
Criminal Justice System
“Is Reform attainable of the US Criminal Punishment System or should our focus be on TRANSFORMING?”…..w/ Trischè Duckworth. Founder & Executive Director of Survivors Speak,
Founder & Executive Director of Value Black Lives LLC, Social Worker, Justice Advocate
Reforms discourages, they don’t condemn.. They may ban police chokeholds!” but use qualified immunity to allow police to get away with murder with guns and tasers.
Death Penalty reforms stop the used of the noose, to the firing squad, to the electric chair…to the used of a injection. Nothing about the Death penalty Reform stop the practice…..it didn’t bring comfort to those impacted. The reform only gave comfort to the executioners.
Meanwhile Transformation moves beyond small reformative measures. Transformation requires us to focus on economic justice and political power. Reforms often look for the community to change… Transformations is the community demanding the system to change! Transformation is redefining the idea of Justice, imagining liberation and pushing ourselves to look beyond the normal to address the root causes of our suffering.
In order for us to obtain true Change within our Criminal Justice System…we must first change the mindsets of our communities.
