Join us November 19th at 6:30 PM at Marquette University's Sensenbrenner Hall, for the community panel discussion, "Rethinking Justice and Incarceration in Wisconsin -Who's in Prison, Why and Should they be?"

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 second part of the series, which will run through 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 November 19th, entitled “Who's in Prison, Why and Should they be?”, will be moderated by Attorney Larraine McNamara McGraw and include the following panelists:

• Mark Rice (JLUSA, Close MSDF)
• Sean Wilson (ACLU-WI)
• Julie Grace (Badger Institute)
• Makda Fessahaye (DOC Administrator for the Division of Adult Institutions)
