Crockett's Improvement Plan as Disability Politics

Crockett's plan is based in his experiences at Chester. His plan does not deny that some prisoners may need or want medication either temporarily or permanently. It also does not deny the reality of mental disability or distance Blackness from it. Rather, this plan gives agency and acknowledges that prisoners mental capacity and stability may change over time. It gives back agency to those like Crockett who were being help in psychiatric, medical, and prison institutions under and assumption that they are incompetent.
