Join us January 16th, 2020 at 6:30 PM at MSOE's Todd Wehr Auditorium, for the community panel discussion, “Violence, Violence, Violence: Where does it Start and How do we deal with it?"

Milwaukee Turners’ program Confronting Mass Incarceration (CMI), in collaboration with ACLU-WI, Wisconsin Justice Initiative (WJI), Marquette University, UWM, MSOE and MATC, have worked together at organizing this groundbreaking series aimed at moving the community conversation forward on confronting the broken criminal justice system in Wisconsin. As of 2018, the state has more than 23,000 incarcerated individuals, a record high. CMI and its partners seek to confront the systemic and cyclical issue of mass incarceration for the epidemic that it is in this important five-part series. 

This is the fourth part of the series, which will run through the end of January, encouraging continued discussion along the way.

Each part of the series will be hosted by each of the city’s major higher-ed institutions, with the intentional goal of partnering with academia to help in the complex problem-solving of mass incarceration. The panel on January 16th, entitled “Violence, Violence, Violence: Where does it Start and How do we deal with it?" will be moderated by Attorney Craig Mastantuono and will include the following panelists:

• Kent Lovern (Milwaukee County Chief Deputy District Attorney)
• Terri Strodthoff (Alma Center, Founder and Chief Executive)
• Ray Mendoza (414LIFE - Violence Interrupter)
• Talib Akbar (WISDOM)
