At the same time, we recognize the deep and urgent need for better food conditions in correctional facilities.
Instead of advocating for “kinder, gentler” prisons, we ask how addressing the role of food in confinement can advance an abolitionist vision that builds communal power and helps tear down the prison-industrial complex in all of its manifestations.
By connecting urban and small-scale farms in Baltimore to prisons in Maryland, we aim to pave the pathway for conditions for resistance on the inside and support community-based forms of self-determination on the outside.
