“The Long Term: Resisting Life Sentences, Working Toward Freedom”

Mix of personal narratives and essays by people serving life or virtual life sentences envisioning a world without perpetual punishment. Many contributors (inside and free) lay out how we might integrate those convicted of serious harm back into communities, what true accountability could entail decades later, and how to shift from retribution to reconciliation. It’s future-oriented because it demands we think beyond even “shorter sentences” to no cages at all. — Website
