Abolition and Disability Justice

While reading chapter 8 of "A Disability History of the United States" I noted this part of the passage, "Incarceration has since become the dominant method of "care" and institutionalization for poor people percieved to have mental or pyschiatric disabilities." (102) I wondered how the abolition movement crosses with Disability movement, and this qoute made me realize how institutionlization has not really changed. If it's not the asylum wards there are jails with even worse healthcare access. The criminilization of mental health shows how there was pushbakc against the disability movement the 1960s and 1970s. Instead of asylums they put people in jails and add on legal ramifications such as being charged with crimes, not being able to vote or get a job with a felony. This is even more of a reason to be pro-abolition movement because it also involves the right to accesible healthcare instead of punishment.
