We desire to cultivate communities that have strong relations of trust and the skills to handle conflict with care, collectively rejecting systems of surveillance, control, and punitive punishment that have caused immense generational pain. We aim to be in relation with one another in life-affirming ways, which includes holding people who have caused harm accountable, albeit, in ways that do not reproduce the horrific anti-communal and anti-survivor dynamics that characterize the prison-industrial complex.
We are Humanities behind bars.
Our MISSION STATEMENT
HBB is working to build an alternative world that does not rely on systems of oppression and carceral punishment. By way of co-creating robust, creative, and resilient communities bound together by extensive care networks, we aim to center the liberation of those who have been intentionally targeted by the carceral system.
