Free the Homies Shirt (Decarcerate Refresh)

We remixed our original "Decarcerate, Rehabilitate" design.

Designed and printed with care by formerly incarcerated people and our loved ones.

Back Reads: Decarcerate, Deinstitutionalize - Free the Homies - Prisons were not used as government-issued punishment until 1865. When the 13th Amendment of the United States Constitution reformed slavery to only being legal as punishment for a crime, the $3.5 Billion dollar United States slave industry changed into the now $10.5 Billion dollar prison industry (conservative estimates).

Prior to this, and for the first 199,000 years of human history, indigenous human societies maintained safety mostly by building strong relationships, and taking collective care of one another - like many of us do today in our families.

What must we do to get back to that, stop the raging punishment industry, and Free the Homies?

Free the Homies Shirt (Decarcerate Refresh)

My new favourite shirt

I've been following this account for like three years, ever since I watched the Feminist on Cellblock Y documentary, and I've been regularly putting this shirt in the online shopping basket but not feeling able to justify the postage fee to Australia. Finally bought it this year and I couldn't be happier. It arrived the day before I presented my thesis research project on improving youth detention settings in Australia, and I wore it very proudly. The colour and quality is great, and people didn't realise it had a political message until they looked closer which I liked, I felt like I could wear this message everywhere. Immediately one of the most regular shirts in my wardrobe cycle. Abolition IS creative. Love you guys

this t-shirt fits perfectly! it’s a quality product with a message that kickstarts important conversations. I’ve washed it many times at this point and the graphics still remain clear and fresh.

Our classic shirt design, "Decarcerate Rehabilitate" has now been remixed to Free The Homies!

Our designs grow and transform as our politics do.

We replaced the word “Rehabilitate” because it implies incarcerated people are broken and must be fixed by free people—when free people are the ones who believe in and resource the violence of incarceration in the first place. We all have room to heal.
We moved Decarcerate to the back and put it next to Deinstitutionalize, to demand this healing happen in the community as opposed to in institutions of violence, revenge and shame.
