On this edition of Prison Pipeline: One In Five.
On February 8, The Sentencing Project, Berkeley School of Theology, and the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation co-hosted a webinar entitled One in Five: Ending Mass Incarceration and its Racial Disparities, which examined the progress made in the 21st century in reducing the US prison population and its racial and ethnic disparities as well as the ongoing work to achieve justice. We hear from The Reverend Doctor Joseph Evans, Director of the Center for Truth, Racial Healing, & Restorative Justice at the Berkeley School of Theology, and William Underwood, Senior Fellow at The Sentencing Project.
Plus, the NYU Center for Opioid Epidemiology and Policy hosted a seminar February 12 entitled “You Don’t Get Well in a Cell”: Examining the Design, Implementation and Impacts of De Facto Drug Decriminalization Policies in the United States, which was presented by Professor Saba Rouhani, PhD, with the NYU School of Global Public Health.
