Abolition as Resurrection is a podcast miniseries co-produced and co-hosted by Camille Hernandez and Jia Johnson that is created for the Lenten and Easter season. This podcast seeks to understand abolition without co-opting or inserting ideologies that have not been consistent with the movement. Through interviewing abolitionists, theologians, and scholars our goal is to understand if there is a relationship between the theology of Resurrection and the Abolition movement to discover if we can find a path forward that we can implement in our everyday lives.

Meditation 2.5: Women Behind Cook County Bars

Jia is reading a poem of lament from Stacy Krisik. Stacy is a student in McCormick Theological Seminary’s program for seminary education in jail. This program is one of 4 offered by the Solidarity Building Initiative for Liberative Carceral Education at McCormick, also known as SBI. Stacy wrote her lament during COVID-19 while in pretrial incarceration at the Cook County Jail in the summer of 2021. Stacy’s poem is included in SBI’s annual publication entitled The Prayer Collective, which will be available soon at sbimccormick.org.
