"Thinking Outside the Cell: Concrete Suggestions for Positive Change" by Susan Sered

And they are excellent, well-informed suggestions.
Real change is tedious, needs resources, and often has to fend off not only direct opposition but also counterproductive short-term alleviation. In this post, I’ve pulled together the best models that I’ve found.

...

I. Harm Reduction and Housing First
II. Meaningful Work
III. Activism, Advocacy and Community Building
IV. Legislative and Policy Initiatives

...

It will take years and work and money and a whole lot of good luck to dismantle the prison industrial complex. But the groundwork has already been laid in communities around the country. And so, stepping outside of the ivory tower’s claims to impartiality and objectivity, I’m asking readers to donate time and money to support and strengthen that work. Most of it is difficult, underfunded, and at times dangerous. I’ve linked to a few organizations that I believe in and have come across in my work. If you want to help, I urge you to seek out local and national organizations, programs, and initiatives that are striving to bring positive, effective change to our systemic problems.
