Does Prison Reform or Does Prison Need Reforming?

The United States incarcerates more people than any other nation in the world. Nearly 2 million people are in 1,556 state prisons, 102 federal prisons, 850 local jails, and 1,510 juvenile correctional facilities. Yet after 50 years of mass incarceration, studies show more than half of the formerly incarcerated are unable to find stable employment within their first year of re-entry, and three-fourths are rearrested within three years of release.

Join us for an informative discussion where a panel of activists, authors, and experts explore the role prisons play in our society and offer strategies and solutions to fix our failing system.

Moderated by Jeffery Robinson, Executive Director, The Who We Are Project

Panelists:
Evie Litwok, Executive Director, Witness to Mass Incarceration
Kevin Ring, President, FAMM
Chris Wilson, author, The Master Plan: My Journey from a Life in Prison to a Life of Purpose
