"If animals are at the core of the rehabilitative benefits then sanctuary is the only way to do that without involving prisoners in conflicted relationships with the animals."

"In addition to inseminating goats, removing newborn kids and machine-milking mothers, prisoners will be trained in slaughtering and butchering animals from approximately 350 local farms."

Evolve Our Prison Farms would like the prison farms to go from slaughterhouses to sanctuaries with sustainable plant-based agriculture.

"The logic of animal husbandry dovetails with the logic of incarceration through confinement, coercion, and other forms of violence, creating a docile, controllable mass. It's time for a whole new beginning."
