It is necessary to build our autonomy in the management of problematic situations, by first becoming conscious of the richness of our skills in this field. On an individual level, we solve conflicts every day without resorting to legal action, by calming the anger of a loved one, by asking a third party to intervene, by offering a drink to someone to whom we have made an offensive comment. Because we use them daily, we are rarely aware of these skills. On a collective level, we have thousands of years of experience in conflict resolution beyond the legal system. This is not to defend an enchanted view of past societies or cultures because of their lack of recourse to forms of punishment that are familiar to us. It is a matter of underlining thatdistant the legal system is not an absolute horizon and that restorative and transformative forms of justice have a long history. *
Harassed to prove - We can gain at the end - By dint of community and benevolence - Authority will one day no longer have any sense - Justice shouldn’t mean punish - If we feed our responsabilities - With desire for integrity - We would get rid of instances - That govern our lives - Without ever worrying - Defunding those who inflict senseless sentences - Investing in possibilities to repair - To filling in the gaps of a model - That only responds to the needs of revenge
* The introductory text is taken from Gwenola Ricordeau's book, "Pour elles toutes, femmes contre prisons" (2019) and translated from French into English.

For each struggle - Hundreds of usurpers - Seeing your name mentioned - Is what you most hope for - Speaking the language of uppers class - Digesting subvertion perpetualy - To make it fit into assigned frames - Fetishising oposition while - Collaborating with institution - To contain what explode - While persuading yourself - To make the revolution - You make art impossible - By lying about - Your real motivations - Party’s over - Pacification agents - Avatars of entertainment - Politize yourself - Feeling ashamed is not enough - You won’t negociate with guilt - Giving up would be so much honest - To get out - Of this ethical impasse - Enforcing the instrument of class warfare - Is far more - Vicious - Than money itself

For all these power abuses that you call blunders - Committed with impunity - Under the protection - Of those who grant you all this power - To save at any cost the interests - To perpetuate without stopping - The tradition of injustice and betrayal - For all the atrocities - Of which you have been guilty or accomplices - You will end up paying one day - And in the meantime - Know that around you - Thousands of people share the desire - To see you devoured by the flames - Of the revenge of the oppressed - For nothing in the world would I want to have - To bear your reflection in the mirror - Or have to wash your same hands - You have chosen - To be at the service - Of the foulest of machines - Of the one that crushes existences - You have dedicated your unwavering obedience to it - To make your own profit - Dirty traitors - We will get you - Dirty traitors - We will get you - We promise - There will never again be place - For vermin of your kind

Trapped in rhythms that endless repeat - Resting is the last plot that can’t be stolen - Paradoxical necessity for our efficiency - Can’t be erased - Nothing won’t disappear - If we just close our eyes - And even sleeping deeply - Realism will define our dreams - Digging imaginary until - Occupy every possible horizon - Wormed out and overwhelmed - By a paradigm in which we get swallowed - While bodies try to extract - Themselves from injunctions - The immeasurable continues tirelessly - To consume all that we have - To invade all that we are - Sleep is threatened by reality - And totality that weighting on us
