Webinar: Prison Reform & COVID’s Impact on the Incarcerated

Submitted by the Event Organizer

This session will address prison reforms currently underway and recognize the impact of COVID on the prison population and reform efforts.
The Social Justice Info Series is a four-part series sponsored by the Undergraduate Criminology Program and the Center for Social Justice at HNU. This series is born out of a need to address the civil unrest experienced nationally, internationally and collectively by our students and others, in response to policing practices impacting communities of color.
The info series is intended to facilitate transformative learning and create a space to have real conversations that address current issues, and present opportunities for growth that can affect healthy, productive change within the criminal justice system and the community at large.
