The Abolitionist Map of NYC

The website for the Abolitionist Guide to NYC is just getting started, but the site does house an Abolitionist Map of NYC.

The Abolitionist Map of NYC offers a geographic survey of incarceration and anti-carceral resistance in Manahatta from the Dutch colonization of Lenapehoking to the present day. The map highlights some of the first jails and prisons to exist in the area, the movement of facilities from one place to the next, and sites of rebellion against the expansion of the prison industrial complex.

It is meant to serve as a tool for abolitionist resistance grounded in a long view of the struggle, tactics, and goals.

The map is available as a PDF and as an interactive version. (via @prisonculture.bsky.social)
