The abuse-to-prison pipeline is an insidious system that perpetuates a cycle of violence and oppression. This pipeline begins with the abuse, trauma, and neglect that many individuals experience in their homes and communities. Whether it's domestic violence, child abuse, or discrimination, these early experiences leave lasting scars and can lead to a path of self-destruction or survival. Instead of providing the necessary support and resources, society often fails these individuals, pushing them into the criminal justice system. Within prison walls, abuse continues to prevail, creating a dangerous feedback loop. The lack of rehabilitative programs and the prevalence of violence further dehumanize and break down individuals. This pipeline not only fails to address the root causes of crime but also perpetuates the conditions that foster further abuse and criminal behaviour. It is a grim reflection of society's collective failure to tackle systemic issues and provide a more compassionate and just approach to rehabilitation.
