I was asked to make a Milton megathread, so that is what I am doing. I’m going to be somewhat busy this evening, so I don’t think I’ll be able to quickly or easily update the thread with new information, but here are some resources:

Oh God, that’s horrifying. Thanks for highlighting this.
if this leads to incarcerated people coming to harm, I know that there will be people who will say that was a good thing and that makes me feel sick. As someone who has been a victim of violent crime, I thought that the perpetrator receiving a prison sentence would help me to heal from the trauma. I was wrong, and increasingly I understand that there is no justice to be found through retributive punishment, just more injustices heaped onto people.
