8. Association/Collaboration – MCI-Framingham Prison

Kleinfelder Northeast put in a proposal for a state contract to build a new women's prison to replace MCI-Framingham. In the proposal, Kleinfelder attempted to whitewash over the inherently violent and dehumanizing realities of caging human beings in prions, highlighting that, if selected by the state of MA, they would create a prison which would include "gender-responsive programming," and boasting that prisons Kleinfelder had previously constructed were designed with "soft colors" and included "dayroom spaces" which let in natural light. These proposals have been rejected by abolitionist groups, such as the group Families for Justice as Healing (FJAH) – run by formerly incarcerated women – and exposed as an attempt to sanitize the brutal practice of putting human beings in cages.
