Learn about the theory of aboliton—the theory of a world without prisons, police, and the bondage of oppression. Unchain Whatcom is made up of a group of abolitionists working to abolish the Prison Industrial Complex (PIC) in Whatcom County through the Whatcom Pen-Pal Program, resisting the construction of a new mega jail in Whatcom County, and fighting to improve the material conditions of people inside the Whatcom County Jail and Interim Work Center.
