What are the costs of incarceration? What is the impact on taxpayers? What are prison conditions now? How are re-entry programs working? What are the legal obstacles to improving prison conditions?
Those are among the topics to be addressed Tuesday, November 30 at Blumberg Hall (on the third floor of Hosmer Hall) at the University of Connecticut Law School, under the auspices of the Central Connecticut Chapter of the ACLU of Connecticut.
Panelists will include Laresse Harvey, an ex-offender who is now policy director of A Better Way Foundation; former State Rep. Bill Dyson of New Haven; Amy Meek, coordinator of the New Haven Mayor's Prison Re-Entry Initiative; David McGuire, staff attorney of the ACLU Foundation of Connecticut; and Jim Amis, former correctional ombudsman. Retired journalist Don Noel, immediate past chair of the ACLU of Connecticut, will moderate.
The program will begin at 7 p.m., with an estimated 8:30 p.m. adjournment time.
