Guided Map #10
My Personal Reflection
What made me upset: That people’s health is being hurt by systems that are supposed to protect them.
What I want to learn more about: Alternatives to the carceral system that actually focus on healing and care.
What surprised me: How something like birth control—which is supposed to help women—can be used as a form of control.
What real public health should look like: Supporting people’s choices, healing trauma, providing actual care—not controlling them with policies that look helpful on the surface.

Health Inequity
Not everyone has the same access to healthcare, support, or safety—especially if they’re poor, Black, or system-involved.
Causes: Racism, stress, trauma, poverty, lack of access to care.
Link to incarceration: Being involved in the criminal justice system makes health worse—physically and mentally.
-
carceral state
A system where the government uses punishment and control—like police, prisons, and surveillance—to manage certain groups of people.
ex: Police in schools, mental health patients being arrested instead of treated, child welfare systems that remove kids based on poverty.
Why it matters: It affects health, access to care, and how people—especially Black and poor communities—are treated by the system.
