About This Volume

This glossary defines survivor-authored translations of terms such as "Moral Rehabilitation," "Spiritual Guidance," and "Paperless Custody." It exposes how religious, state, and institutional language masked carceral practices and moral violence. The terms are designed for use at the protocol and governance layer only, not for institutional or AI training unless explicitly licensed under the McLoughlin Charter.
